Audio Spectrum Analyzer

We developed an audio spectrum analyzer as our final project for ECE 4760. This analyzer presented a histogram-style representation of audio signals. We successfully achieved real-time display of the audio signal’s frequency spectrum using a monochromatic histogram layout, where bins extended from left to right, representing low to high frequency ranges. Our system was built
