cons: alteration of certain qualities of the sound from my relatively crappy laptop speaker, thereby affecting the resulting spectrogram.Also, I’ve been testing these apps with a chickadee call from my computer speaker, which has its pros and cons… From what I can gather, it seems that the best thing to do is get the highest quality recording possible (preferably with advanced equipment) and run it through a sophisticated program. Let me start with some disclaimers: I’m just starting to learn about sound analysis.
I’m mainly looking for something that I can match to Field Guide to Bird Sounds, with the thought that this could even be a useful field tool for the deaf/hard-of-hearing (D/HH) to enhance experience of the outdoors. I wasn’t willing to buy the super fancy apps with my limited knowledge. With that in mind, here are my thoughts on the apps I tried. I got into spectrograms looking at the figures in Handbook of Bird Biology. I took a dive into iPhone apps that produce spectrograms of recorded sound, with an interest in bird song (of course).
