The Doppler illusion

[John Neuhoff]

The Doppler illusion is a newly discovered auditory illusion in which
listeners experience a rise in pitch when listening to a constant
velocity approaching sound source.  The striking illusion occurs even
though frequency at the point of observation falls as the source
approaches.  For a one page summary of the paper illustrating the
illusion see:
