The doppler effect is the change in frequency of a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the wave.
You can measure the location and velocity of a locomotive moving towards or away from your.
You can measure a star's location and velocity vector regarding the shift and color emanating from the star light. This is calculated via doppler light equations.
The Doppler effect
For the Doppler effect to occur the measured object must be in motion (radial velocity) relative to the emitter of a wave.
When the train gets close to you the sound wave are compressed making a higher pitch noise and as the train passes the sound waves become lengthened. That is the doppler effect in a nutshell. Now just compare it to how the doppler effect changes light waves.
The amount of Doppler shift depends on speed - the faster vehicle will show more Doppler shift.
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).

It is not true that the Doppler effect has anything to do with electricity and the flow of current. The Doppler effect involves pitch and sound frequency of moving objects, for example the apparent noise changes of an approaching car.
The Doppler effect
The Doppler effect is named after Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, who first described the phenomenon in 1842. He realized that the frequency of waves changes depending on the relative motion between the source of the waves and an observer.
b. radial motion. The Doppler Effect can be used to measure an object's radial motion by analyzing the shift in the frequency of the waves emitted by the object as it moves towards or away from the observer.
Christian Doppler discovered the Doppler effect in 1842. He observed that the frequency of sound changes as the object of the sounds moves and the detector of the sound moves. Radar and medical devices use the Doppler effect to locate and provide images of scanned objects.
The phenomenon is called the Doppler effect. It occurs when there is a change in frequency of a sound wave as the source of the sound moves relative to an observer.
Doppler ultrasonography uses what is called the Doppler effect to measure the rate and direction of blood flow in the vessels.
The Doppler effect helps measure the speed of moving objects. The most common Doppler effect is the sound of a police siren, as it passes you. The sound of the siren remains constant to the person in the vehicle, but as it approaches you, the pitch, or frequency appears to lower.
The Doppler effect is useful for and used for detecting objects velocity. The Doppler radar tells whether the object is heading toward or away from you or perpendicular to you.
