 dopplar effect.... doesn't that change frequency of the wave? So it would be a higher pitched noise?

It still sounds a little odd...

I agree.  I don't think it sounds right either. 

But also I think part of the strange sound (like the volume going up and down fairly evenly as you move around) is because that there are many locations that the sounds originate from, but all of them are creating sounds from a lot of real life sources, for example many crickets.  The cricket sounds we hear aren't single crickets in many locations, but many crickets packed into one sound source in the engine and then copied all over the place.  I wonder if getting many different (for variation) sound files of a single cricket and then laying them out in the world would make it sound a bit more realistic.

crickets sound pretty much the same, the annoying little bastards chirping away in the middle of the night safe in the skirting boards after they have escaped from the lizard tank.
