No. We observe the Doppler Effect in all forms of waves, including sound waves and all forms of electromagnetic radiation.

What is the Doppler effect on sound?
The Doppler effect is a phenomenon observed whenever the source of waves is moving with respect to an observer. The Doppler effect can be described as the effect produced by a moving source of waves in which there is an apparent upward shift in frequency for the observer and the source are approaching and an apparent downward shift in frequency when the observer and the source is receding. The Doppler effect can be observed to occur with all types of waves - most notably water waves, sound waves, and light waves.
On what princple does sonar and radar works?
A sonar transmits sound waves and captures it back after they strike an object. They work on the dopplers principle.
Why is diffraction of sound waves more easily observed than diffraction of light waves?
sound waves travel fast than light waves
Can the Doppler effect be observed with longitudinal waves transverse waves or both?
Both.
Can the Doppler effect be observed with longitudinal waves with transverse waves or with both?
Both.
Why does the frequency of sound waves change for a listener when the sound source moves towards or away from the listener?
This is an example of the Doppler effect. Sound is composed of waves. A particular vibration produces a sound wave with a particular wavelength. When the sound source moves towards a listener the waves are "bunched up". That results in a shorter observed wavelength and thus a higher frequency. When the sound source moves away the opposite happens. The frequency of the sound waves decreases.

What kind of waves shows the Doppler effect?
Sound Waves.
Why do sound waves move around everyday objects whereas the bending of light is not generally observed?
its because the sound waves travel faster in air..... and also recommended the waves
What types of waves are associated with the Doppler effect?
The Doppler effect is most noticed when it comes to three types of waves. They are water waves, sound waves and light waves.
Is the Doppler effect is the same as sound waves?
I fear you're confused - BUT : The Doppler effect is similar for both sound waves and electromagnetic radiation (light, radar).
What is the effect produced by reflections of sound waves?
Reverberation
