I know a car sounds different approaching vs leaving but what is happening re sound waves and is there a similar effect with light waves?

You’re literally running into/away from sound waves, causing you to receive more or less waves so they sound differently.
The same phenomenon is also present on lights but for very different reasons. Everyone approaches light at the same speeds, but the definition of space and time changes, making the light to appear to change in frequency.
