  • This is Doppler effect.

    f' = f * (v(sound) ± v(receiver))/(v(sound) ± v(source))

    Where f is the original frequence, f' is the apparent frequence (the one you hear), and the others are pretty clear I guess.

    f' = (3640 Hz) * ((330 m/s) - (42.5 m/s))/((330 m/s) - (21.5 m/s))

    f' = (3640 Hz) * (287.5 m/s)/(308.5 m/s)

    f' = 3640 Hz * 0.932

    f' = 3392 Hz
