That would be the Doppler shift of the sounds frequency as it approaches you and passes by.

The apparent change in the frequency of a sound emitted by a moving object as it passes a stationary observer is called the what effect?
Doppler effect.
Refraction of a sound wave occurs when a wave passes at an angle from one medium into another in which the of the wave is different?
speed
What happens when the pitch of a sound seems to changeas the sound source moves toward an observer?
In that situation, what happens is that the pitch of sound seems to change as the sound source moves radially with respect to the observer. When the source approaches the observer, the pitch rises, whereas if the source should recede, then the pitch would fall.
How can the pitch of sound wave be raised?
It can be done by moving the sound source quickly towards the observer (or the observer towards the sound), like a siren on a speeding train, and is known as the Doppler effect.See related link.
When a sound source is moving away from an observer the observer will hear a lower pitch. This is due to?
This is due to the Doppler effect.

Doppler effect.
After an approaching ambulance passes a stationary observer what does the frequency of the sound of the siren heard by the observer appear to do?
Soften... It is lower due to the Doppler effect. Decrease =]

What conditions would have to be met in order for an ambulance with its siren on not to exhibit the Doppler effect when it passes you?
As far as I know, there will always be a Doppler effect when there is relative movement between the object that emits sound, and the observer (i.e. you, who are listening to the sound).
Is it possible to move a source of sound relative to a stationary observer so that there is no shift in the frequency of the sound?
For the sound from a source not to be shift in frequency , the radial velocity of the source to the observer must be zero : that is the source must not be moving towards or away from the observer
Does the Doppler effect have anything to do with medicine?
No. It has to do with sound or light waves (or any other if there is). It is the apparent change in frequency of a wave as the observer and source move toward or apart from each other. EX: think of a car when it passes by. the frequency of the wave changes and it gets louder then quieter. You would be observer and the source would be wherever the sound comes from. Hope this helps :)
What is an observer in sound waves?

How does the relative motion of a motorcycle affect the frequency of the sound heard by an observer on the sidewak?
as the motorcycle approaches the observer, the frequency increases.
