Ok, but for that to happen, the speed by which they bump will have to be
in the audible frequency range? Is there a way to calculate
theoretically how fast this bumping goes? :)

My last chemistry class was long, long ago but here's my theory... Salt
is made of sodium and chlorine (NaCl). Dissolved in water the salt
separate into Na and Cl ions (charged atoms). Seeking to return their
charge to zero the ions are attracted to the aluminum and the copper.
Once they hit the metals they form new compounds. So what I think we are
hearing is the sound of 1) the ions bumping into each other as they
travel through the solution and 2) the ions bonding to the metals.

I would think the wire acts as an antenna picking up interference, and
the aluminium bar or water don't really do that much.
