In our physics class, we just learned about sound waves and the doppler effect. I experienced the doppler effect firsthand at a UH football game. As I was walking to my seat, there was a vendor selling peanuts. As I walked towards him, (he was yelling PEANUTS very loudly), it seemed as if his voice was becoming louder. And, as I walked away from him after I had passed him, his voice started to become softer. This was the doppler effect at work. Now that I've learned about it, I understand why this occurs.
