Reply to comment by [deleted] in ELI5: why can you hear when a glass is being filled up with water? by RestlessARBIT3R
No, that's not it for two reasons
One, surface of the water usually just plainly doesn't move fast enough for that effect to take place. And the pitch will change regardless of how fast it fills up.
Two, you get the sane effect from any direction, even behind the bottle. And that's completely illogical for Doppler.
It's just plain old resonance.
