Dears,

I wonder to know in those audio test equipment (e.g. CLIO, Audio Precision),
they have a function called Waterfall or CSD. It is for analyzing a speaker
time-frequency relation from an impulse. Do they use FFT or STFT to generate the
spectrum? Also, what windows do they use? 

I tried to FFT an impulse with shifting square window but I got a lot of low
frequency noise after the first FFT. I wonder to know how the others do it.

No one know it?

Your description of what you tried seems fuzzy to me.  What do you mean by
"shifting"?  How can your window be
"square" with amplitude and frequency both variable?

Suggest that you try STFFT with these params:

  -approx 10 msec window size (e.g. if sampling rate
   is 44.1 kHz, then window size is about 400-500
   samples)

  -1024 pt FFT size

  -50% overlap (or higher, maybe up to 85%)

  -Hanning window

Then post a plot so we can be sure your result is correct.
