If the ambulance was moving either towards you or away from you it would exhibit the Doppler effect.

I.E. Higher pitch if it was moving towards you and lower pitch if it was moving away from you.

The change is most noticeable if the vehicle passes you. Presumably more noticeable with lower frequencies than higher frequencies.
