the picture is still visible in the mp3, just not as clear. i just checked.

Depends on the MP3. Differently coded MP3s will lose different information. TMC1221 07:04, Feb 1, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Another example

Sonogram example

A sonogram of a male voice saying [tatata], as displayed by Praat.

[edit] Mother tongue of the "tatata" speaker

The label for the "tatata" spectrogram should state the mother tongue of the speaker.

Possibly. But this sample is doubly artificial, since it not only is in the constructed language Lojban, but also comes from the corpus of a diphone speech synthesis system in that language, and therefore is a nonsense word.
In any case, we have since lost contact with the Belgian speaker of that corpus, so we cannot determine what his native language is. As the original uploader of that illustration I have no problem with seeing it go, since other spectrograms have now appeared. arj 20:10, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
That's a good example of the type of spectrogram traditionally used in voice though. I can make more cool edit spectrogram images of whatever, if you want. - Omegatron 20:30, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tubular Bells

Could we have a reference for the Tubular Bells, Rugby Transmitter spectrogram?

[edit] VLF section

I think it should read 24Hz instead of 24Khz, could someone more knowledgeable than me check this ? Zeno 04:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, i'm an audio guy, not a radio guy ! 24k is very low radio freq ! Zeno 04:08, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Waterfall_plot

I am suggesting that Waterfall plot be merged into the Spectrogram page. They are essentially the same thing and the terms are interchangable. A waterfall plot can be 2D with color being the third dimension. A spectrogram can also be a 3D display. The only issue is that the Waterfall Plot page has a focus on room acoustics while Spectrogram is more of DSP term. (Spectrogram 05:51, 27 January 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Format

I added a image of a FM spectrogram. The 'edit' link below it was moved over and I was unsure how to move it back.stemperm 20:35, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reading Spectrograms of Speech

How do people feel about a section regarding how to read spectrograms for speech analysis? Subsection? Separate article? I'd be willing to contribute. --Coyne025 17:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I think that would be a great idea but if it is heavy on details then it might be better if it was over at a place like Wikipedia:WikiProject_Phonetics. The problem with spectrogram analysis is that it is used in so many different fields, speech happens to be just one of them. Don't want to give any particular usage too much coverage. For example: there might be too much information about images being embedded in popular music (see the recent NIN entries). While I think that those edits are great, they might be a bit too much.
