Specifically, this is a Sondhauss tube with steel wool (instead of a bundle of glass tubes) serving as a heat exchanger

This is probably a Rijke tube -- a heat-powered sound generator. (Lord Rayleigh explained how it works.) The test tube acting as a quarter-wave resonator; hence it produces a tone of 500-600 Hz.
