According to this forum post (http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2077659-solved-girl-accidently-creates-a-blob-like-creature-s), what you're looking for is a book called "The Monster Garden" by Vivien Alcock.

This was a book I read back in the '80's that I only vaguely remember. I think a girl was playing around with a chemistry set and created some kind of new lifeform. I think it was a sort of blob that communicated in whistles and something like whale song, and she kept it hidden in her room. She was worried about what people might do to it if it was discovered, and in the end she decides she can't keep it hidden away forever. I think in the end she releases it into the sea and hears it singing like a whale. I can't remember anything about the title, and google isn't any help with the few key words I can come up with that I might my mixing up anyways.
