I got bored so compiled every Michael Jackson grunt/yell/scream in one video.
Fair enough.

The full version of a stop motion video visualising the physics of sound, created by Katarzyna Kijek and Przemyslaw Adamski. The award winning film has been doing the rounds of film festivals for the last few years. The creators say:
[Noise is] inspired by the theoretic work of George Berkeley and basics of synesthetic perception. It’s a game of imagination provoked by sound. Individual sounds penetrating into the apartment of the main character relieved of their visual designates evoke images distant from its origins.

The charming Martyn Poliakoff, Pete Licence and Darren Walsh (g’wan the Darren!) from the University Of Nottingham’s Chemistry Department explore the 3000fps nuances of the Barking Dog reaction – a giant ‘woof’ caused by the combustion of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and sulphur dioxide in a huge test tube.

A ‘sound installation’ inside an abandoned toluene tank in Dottikon, Switzerland by sound artist Zimoun, who (with a lot of help) installed329 DC motors connected to cotton balls to create this walk-in, thrumming, mesmeric perma-din. From Zimoun’s artist’s statement:
Using simple and functional components, Zimoun builds architecturally-minded platforms of sound. Exploring mechanical rhythm and flow in prepared systems, his installations incorporate commonplace industrial objects. In an obsessive display of simple and functional materials, these works articulate a tension between the orderly patterns of Modernism and the chaotic forces of life. Carrying an emotional depth, the acoustic hum of natural phenomena in Zimoun’s minimalist constructions effortlessly reverberates.
Obviously, to experience the full effect, you’d have to be there.
The man’s a genius. Here’s one he did earlier.
A series of experiments by Brusspup showing the effect of a loud 24Hz sine wave on streams of water, with the camera frame rate adjusted to match the vibration of the air. Brusspup adds:
If you want the water to look like it’s moving backward set the frequency to 23hz. If you want to look like it’s moving forward in slow motion set it to 25hz.

As part of their research into reducing the dose and increasing the effectiveness of pharmaceuticals, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory use a witch trumpet acoustic levitator – originally developed for NASA to summon the Dark Lord simulate microgravity conditions.
The acoustic levitator uses two small speakers to generate sound waves at frequencies slightly above the audible range – roughly 22 kilohertz.When the top and bottom speakers are precisely aligned, they create two sets of sound waves that perfectly interfere with each other, setting up a phenomenon known as a standing wave.
At certain points along a standing wave, known as nodes, there is no net transfer of energy at all. Because the acoustic pressure from the sound waves is sufficient to cancel the effect of gravity, light objects are able to levitate when placed at the nodes.
