What is the name of the perceived change in a sound wave’s frequency due to motion between the observer and the sound source?

The perceived change in a sound’s frequency when the source and observer move relative to each other is called the Doppler effect. For example, a moving siren sounds higher-pitched as it approaches and lower-pitched as it moves away. Diffraction, resonance, and reflection describe different wave behaviors.
