It could be due to the Doppler effect, which shortens the waves coming from an oncoming source, so they are higher in pitch.

In a modern passenger jet, there's something else going on. When you're in front you mostly hear the noise from the fan (the first stage of the compressor), while when it has past you hear more jet turbulence, which is caused by the fast moving exhaust mixing with the still surrounding air.

Why is the back of the airplane narrow and higher off ground then the front of the airplane?

This is to allow the airplane to rotate when it is taking off. (Rotating is when the pilot pulls back, raises the nose of the aircraft, and the aircraft rises into the air). If the aircraft did not have this raised tail-end, a "tail-strike" would happen, which damages the aircraft.


What causes a sound in front of a moving sound source to seem to have a higher pitch and frequency?

The Doppler effect causes this phenomenon. As the sound source moves towards the observer, the sound waves are compressed, resulting in a higher perceived pitch and frequency.

How does the pitch of a moving car horn sound to person in front of it?

As the moving car approaches the person in front of it, the pitch of the car horn will sound higher due to the Doppler effect. This occurs because the sound waves get compressed as the car moves closer, causing the frequency to increase and the pitch to sound higher.
