Which frequency produces a sound that can be heard by a person?

A person hears lounder sound at a point in a stationary wave at

Towards a stationary object, a train is moving with a speed of 300 m/s and emits a sound wave of frequency 2000 Hz. Small percentage of the sound is reflected back to train in the form of echo. The frequency of the echo as detected by a person sitting in the train will be (speed of sound is 340 m/s).
