*The {{w|Doppler effect}} in physics refers to the change in a wave's frequency for an observer moving relative to its source. Sound from the oncoming firetruck increases in pitch. | *The {{w|Doppler effect}} in physics refers to the change in a wave's frequency for an observer moving relative to its source.

**This is referenced by Cueball reacting faster if the shouting is in a non-tonal language than a tonal language. In tonal languages, changes in pitch change the meaning, thus tonal languages may suffer more from Doppler distortion than non-tonal ones. Additionally, the choice of firetruck was likely influenced by this effect, as a firetruck and its siren are often invoked as an example of it. | **This is referenced by Cueball reacting faster if the shouting is in a non-tonal language than a tonal language.
