About this listen

Gavin breaks down the Doppler effect, the apparent change in frequency caused by motion between a sound source and a listener, and why it matters for creators and engineers. From sirens and passing cars to bats, ultrasounds, GPS, and even cell networks, you’ll learn the core equations, the speed of sound (~343 m/s at room temp), what changes when the observer is moving, and practical takeaways for monitoring, mic technique, and creative sound design.
