What would cause a pinging noise when the engine is hot?

that sound is caused by hot air causing the metal pipes to expand. Pinging is caused the exhaust valve closes before all the exhaust gases are out and the intake valve opens and new fuel enters. One of the best ways to fix it is to adjust your timing, or change your fuel octane to a higher one.
