- β Upload an audio file or use your microphone for live spectrogram analysis
- β The spectrogram shows frequency (vertical) over time (horizontal)
- β Brighter colors indicate stronger frequencies at that moment
- β Musical note labels help identify pitches (C4 = Middle C, A4 = 440Hz)
- β Adjust playback speed from 0.5x to 2x for detailed analysis
- β Adjust FFT size for frequency resolution (higher = more detail, slower)
- β Choose a color scheme that works best for your analysis
Audio Source
Upload audio files in MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A formats for frequency analysis and visualization. The audio spectrogram viewer supports all common audio formats for real-time audio analysis. You can also use your microphone for live spectrogram input β perfect for analyzing instruments, voice, or environmental sounds in real time.
Spectrogram
Real-time frequency visualization showing audio spectrum over time. The spectrogram displays frequency (vertical axis) over time (horizontal axis) with color intensity indicating amplitude. This frequency analyzer provides detailed sound spectrum analysis with musical note annotations to help identify pitches.
Visualization Settings
Configure FFT size from 512 to 8192 bins for frequency resolution control. Adjust Min dB and Max dB range to focus on different intensity levels. Select color schemes including Viridis, Hot, Cool, and Grayscale for optimal audio visualization. Control playback speed from 0.5x to 2x for detailed analysis of fast passages. Higher FFT size provides more frequency detail but slower processing for this FFT analysis tool.

How to Read This Spectrogram
Practical guidance for reading the result
Read the horizontal axis as time and the vertical axis as frequency. A sound that continues for longer stretches across the image lasts longer in the recording.
Color shows energy at each time and frequency. Brighter or more intense colors indicate stronger energy within the selected dB range; they do not automatically mean better audio quality.
Horizontal bands often reveal steady pitches and harmonics. Short vertical streaks usually indicate transients such as clicks, percussion attacks, or consonants. A continuous low-frequency line may indicate electrical hum, while a broad haze can indicate background noise.
The viewer helps you inspect patterns, but it does not automatically decode hidden messages or identify every sound. Adjust FFT size and dB range, then compare what you see with what you hear.
