The tool works on any device with a modern web browser, including Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android.

What is an Audio Spectrogram?

An audio spectrogram is a three-dimensional visualization of audio: time on the horizontal axis, frequency on the vertical axis, and amplitude represented by color intensity. It is one of the most powerful tools for audio analysis, used by audio engineers, music producers, scientists, and researchers.

Unlike a simple waveform that only shows amplitude over time, a spectrogram reveals the frequency content of audio — which notes are playing, which harmonics are present, and how the tonal balance changes over time.

What You Can Analyze With a Spectrogram

  • Identify individual instruments and their frequency ranges
  • Detect noise, hum, and unwanted artifacts
  • Analyze the harmonic content of musical notes
  • Visualize the frequency balance of a mix
  • Identify clipping and distortion
  • Study the attack and decay characteristics of sounds

How FFT Analysis Works

Our spectrogram uses Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis to convert the audio signal from the time domain to the frequency domain. Here is how it works:

Windowing

The audio is divided into overlapping frames. A Hann window function is applied to each frame to reduce spectral leakage at the frame boundaries.

FFT Computation

The FFT transforms each windowed frame from the time domain to the frequency domain, producing a spectrum of frequency magnitudes.

Magnitude Calculation

The magnitude of each frequency bin is calculated from the real and imaginary components of the FFT output. A logarithmic scale is applied for better visual representation.

Color Mapping

The magnitude values are mapped to colors using the selected color map. Higher magnitudes produce brighter colors; lower magnitudes produce darker colors.
