A spectrogram is a visual representation of the spectrum of frequencies in a sound signal as it varies with time. It displays how the intensity of different frequencies changes, allowing us to analyze the characteristics of sounds, such as speech or music. The horizontal axis represents time, while the vertical axis shows frequency, and colors or shades indicate the amplitude or strength of each frequency. Spectrograms are widely used in various fields, including linguistics, music analysis, and acoustic research. They help researchers and professionals understand sound patterns, identify speech elements, and even detect anomalies in audio signals.
