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.

What would cause pinging in a 2002 Trail Blazer?

Pinging, knocking and detonation are all terms for a condition known as "pre-ignition,". That means some of the gas and air mixture is igniting in the cylinder before it's supposed to. And when that extra flame front crashes into the normal flame front (created by the spark plug), you hear a noise, and that noise is pinging. Pinging is something you want to avoid if possible. Engine damage can occur if pinging is severe. Pinging is caused by using too low an octane fuel. Use what is recommended in your owners manual. An engine out of time will also ping, so have the timing checked. Carbon buildup will also cause pinging. A product called Seafoam injected through the intake as outlined in the instructions on the can will help remove carbon and stop pinging. A defective EGR valve is another cause, and also overheating. So replace the thermostat and flush the cooling system.
