Help this poor uneducated soul, will ya? The formula you are referencing
states that if the source is at rest, there is no apparent frequency shift.
It is inherently impossible for the source to be at rest *and* create a
sound wave. After all, sound waves are compression waves, right?

So, what's the deal? Why does this formula ignore the movement of the source
in creating the wave?

I'm no expert in this field by any means, so spell it out for me, will ya? I
have no textbooks here at home. I just have the web, and I've failed to find
a formula that takes into account the movement of the source as it creates
the wave.
