My brother is a musician and he has a bunch of sound equipment that is controlled by an IPad wirelessly. In his IPad is a spectrum analyzer App he downloaded for $14 bucks. It works and captures all frequencies in real time at any point in time. On it each frequency can be shown as vertical lines running horizontally across the screen in milliseconds or whatever time designation you chose. The read out can also be shown as a vertical bar graph in frequencies and a number of other types of graphs. Seeing that got me thinking about tuning motorcycles and how sound is used in engine tuning. If you had a captured baseline sound profile at specific RPMs on a well tuned bike. You could tune an identical bike( XS1B for example) to match that captured the sound profile of a well tuned bike at low , mid and high RPM range then once you're done you would have a perfectly tuned bike, theoretically. The thing is the Spectrum analyzer if it is sensitive enough should be able to pick up a changes in pitch frequency if your jetting is rich or lean at any specifying point in the RPM range and, Frequencies that we might not be able to hear. Anyway something to think about. I'll try to get some screen shots of the analyzer when I get the chance.
