Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
The Doppler effect occurs due to wave peaks/troughs arriving at your sensor faster or slower. It’s only going to be affected by starting frequency and relative motion.
I think it’s more likely that you have some other sensory interference, like rushing blood or ringing, which changes during the day. For all I know the water content of your skull changes its frequency response. If your sinuses are stuffed you’re gonna get some weirdness.
I know the phenomenon I'm describing isn't actually caused by the Doppler effect, I was just using that as an example of changes to perceived pitch.
