I just witnesses a most horrible thing. I was cleaning up a wooded area
around an old house and was burning some dead trees, branches, and some
rotted lumber taken from the old house. The fire was burning like a
normal fire with crackles and popping sounds. I needed to trim the
lower branches off some live trees because it was much to overgrown. I
trimmed the trees and threw those branches into the very hot fire. What
I heard was horrible. These branches which had been live moments
before, were screaming as they burned. It's like they were crying as
they made these random high pitched screams.
I'm a person who respects trees and all of nature, but I never knew that
trees cried as they burned. I felt really terrible hearing their
screams. I did not cut down any live trees, but I guess removing their
limbs is very painful for them. I didn't have much choice, since they
needed to be trimmed. It was like a jungle there. But I will never
burn freshly cut tree limbs again. From now on, I'll just pile them up
and let them dry naturally.

to
the bark.
What you are hearing is the water becoming steam and expanding, then
shooting out of the tubes making a really odd sound.
It is not actually the tree screaming in pain.
It is simply expanding moisture escaping threw a tube.
Like the whistle on a steam locomotive.
