eli5: Why does the pitch of the “mixing noise” decrease over time as a stir a hot drink? 384 viewsApril 23, 2024OtherPhysics Question100.55K April 23, 2024 0 Comments I’ve noticed this with lots of hot liquids. Once I start stirring, the clanking noise of whatever I’m stirring with just gets lower and lower in pitch, possibly as the beverage cools off. What is that?
