Spectrogram

Spectrogram is another representation of frequency versus time of a track. For each channel (right and left), horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents frequency. The amplitude is represented by the intensity (brightness) of the color of each point in the image.

The yellow arrow represents the normal collapse at 22 kHz (sampling frequency at 44.1 kHz) of the CD. The black part shows no signal above 22kHz.
