Yeah..what Del said!! :-)

Besides rising temperature will "change the source" in so far as it affects 
the physical charateristics of the music wire. Sound 'seems' to travel slower 
in high humidity conditions and it also changes character if not frequency.  
For example an M-16 or AK-47 sound differently during a foggy period than 
they do when the weather is clear. and more different still during a 
rainstorm.  Each take on a 'deeper' sound and neither maintain the pitch that 
they have when it is dry.  Now whether this is due to the 'highs' being 
absorbed by the moisture or the 'lows' being reinforced by the moisture it is 
true, it weally weally is. :-)
