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 wave’s frequency caused by motion between the observer and the source is called the Doppler effect. For example, a moving vehicle’s siren sounds higher-pitched as it approaches and lower-pitched as it moves away. Diffraction, reflection, and resonance describe different wave behaviors.
