title: Doppler Ball Siren
aka: Doppler buzzer

Description:
   Piezo siren encased in foam can be thrown around the room to hear the doppler effect.  Heavier, blue set up can be swung in a circle to produce changing sound.

Question:
   How fast does it have to go to produce a noticable shift in frequency?

Would this work on the moon?
