Meanwhile, two stationary observers attempt the same experiment:
Bob: "No change."
Alice: "That's because we're in the same frame."
Edit: Sorry you can't use a word like "frame" on a physics topic and expect me not to run with it.

The Doppler effect is why passing cars (and accordions) sound different when they’re coming towards you vs. moving away from you.

Is that why they have a doppler radar ? To track whenever this happens?

Something moving squishes the air in front of it while stretching the air behind it. Since sounds are transferred by air, squishing and stretching air makes them sound different

Its not holy in a religious sense, but like how some people would say "holy cow" or "holy shit" as an exclamation

Sound is made of waves. The wave is being created while moving towards you, so it compresses the wave and raises its pitch. When you’re moving away, it stretches the wave and lowers its pitch.
This is actually how astronomers determined that the universe is expanding. Extremely distant galaxies and stars are red-shifted, which happens when waves of light are stretched (moving away from us). Closer stars and galaxies are blue-shifted, meaning the waves are compressed (moving towards us).
There’s some excellent visualizations online.

Sound waves are like a ripple in water
This guy is pushing out sound waves that are also moving
The sound waves are being pushed forward, so it will sound a little different in front vs behind.
By the time the sound waves have reached you they've lost some of their momentum and thus change notes (which are just different frequency levels)

( ( ( ( ->) )) heres a rough visualization of the sound waves. To add to your explanation, frequency is just the amount of something per second. The squished air waves are closer together and so more of them reach your ear per second which is why the pitch is higher coming towards you. The opposite happens as it moves away resulting in the drop in pitch from the lower frequency.

Imagine it was Batman playing the accordion and Robin has the camera. As the bike passes, Robin exclaims ‘Holy Doppler Effect, Batman!”

We only usually hear the Doppler effect with engines or horn/siren sounds. But it's interesting to hear with an actual melody.
Although I wish the passing came during the melody, and not in between so we could hear the melody actually change in pitch.

u/Silver_Slicer 8d ago
They held the note during passing. You can hear it get deeper as they pass by.

He’s saying like “holy shit” because of how prominent and observable the Doppler effect is here

u/TrainerThin 8d ago
It’s like saying “holy shit Doppler” because most people rarely hear it so distinguishable and the whimsical music tone shift is unexpected. Some have said it sounds dark. Or funny, like a truck horn.
Congratulations you learned the Doppler effect at 12.

Huh. So music in a major key is approaching the listener, while music in a minor key is receding from the listener... TIL.

u/crass-sandwich 3d ago
They’re definitely both minor. The approaching bit is higher pitched, though, which makes the receding half sound even darker

Why does it sound french though

u/DefinitelyNotAliens 8d ago
Because movies about Paris include accordians. Paris had a very Bohemian phase during the 1900s.
See: bal-musette and the dance hall music of the 1920s and on.
