That's a very good question. The relative speed of sound I know can change the pitch of something - it's called the Doppler effect. A good example is someone driving down the highway honking their horn as you are standing on the side of the road. Notice the pitch starts higher than the sound of

Ah. So why is there such a change in pitch with changes in air temperature inside the Horn? It cannot be because of the metal expanding or contracting since it doesn't do it enough to cause that much of a difference, plus that would change the pitch oppositely to how it normally behaves with

The Doppler effect isn't involved with the relation between temperature, speed and frequency. An analogy: Imagine a dripping faucet: drip..drip..drip.. Now raise the faucet while it drips. As it rises, the drops are spread out more because drop#2 begins farther up from where drop#1 began;

Sorry, I was not complete in my explanation. The frequency is directly proportional to the speed of sound in the horn. That is, a 5% increase in speed of sound will give a 5% increase in frequency. As Cabbage has pointed out, this is 84 cents, nearly a 1/2 step. More technical: as the speed of
