Speed of sound is approx 740mph a police car with its siren sounding is approaching you at 80mph at what speed is the sound from the police siren approaching you?
The sound moves through the air at 740 mph, regardless of the speed of the source. The sound ofthe siren passes you at 740 mph.However, since the source is approaching you, more waves pass you each second than leavethe source each second. That's why the pitch of the sound from an approaching source soundshigher than its actual pitch.Also ... since the sound doesn't move away from the source any faster than 740 mph no matterhow fast the source is moving, that's why the pressure of the sound waves piles up in front ofthe source when the speed of the source approaches 740 mph, forming what's popularly calledthe "sound barrier".
