I believe the answer is:

doppler effect

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sound change' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both types of natural phenomena as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'forced pep felt wrong' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'forced'+'pep'+'felt'='forcedpepfelt'
'forcedpepfelt' with letters rearranged gives 'DOPPLER EFFECT'.

'making' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for doppler effect that I've seen before include "Sonic phenomenon" , "Phenomenon explaining the change of pitch of a passing siren" , "Apparent drop in pitch of passing sound" .)
