Since classic spectrograms typically show logmagnitude intensity versus time and frequency, and since soundpressure level in db is roughly proportional to perceived loudness, at least at high levels 179,276,305, we can say that a classic spectrogram provides a reasonably good psychoacoustic display for sound, provided the window length has been chosen to be.
