What is a 'doppler effect'?

Is it something that you would really notice if it was enabled or not?

It depends on what's going on in the game (I've never played FarCry.) The doppler shift on sound is mostly noticeable for loud noises being generated by vehicles as they speed by (eg. trains, ambulances, etc.)
