In their own words
Friture
Friture is a free, GPLv3+ audio analyzer that displays signals in real time for examining audio and room or receiver behavior. Its views include a spectrum analyzer, rolling two-dimensional spectrogram, fraction-of-octave analyzer, scope, pitch tracker, delay estimator, and level display. The spectrum view shows frequency components, recent peaks, and the global maximum, with adjustable response time. Delay estimation uses cross-correlation between two input channels and works only in two-channel mode. The level view reports peak and RMS power in dBFS, using 25 ms and 300 ms response times. A built-in generator produces sine, pink-noise, white-noise, sweep, and burst signals. Downloads are offered for Windows, macOS, and Linux, including a Windows Store build and Linux AppImage. Other distribution packages or PyPI may work, though dependencies can require manual installation. Friture says it collects no microphone or personal data, uses no cookies, and does not store or analyze activity.
