for Gram32, or for Audacity - both of which are available as freeware.
Of course I have to add the caveat that using any sophisticated piece of
equipment without some understanding of how it works and what the
limitations and potential problems (e.g. artefacts or misleading
displays) is dangerous. Even using the old electro-mechanical Kay
Missilyzer required some background knowledge of acoustics and signal
analysis in order to interpret the resultant sonagrams correctly.

Subject: Simple spectrogram programs?
From time to time we receive inquiries at the Bioacoustics Research
Program from people looking for an extremely simple, easy-to-use program
for making spectrograms of animal sounds. These queries are usually from
people who do not have much experience or specialized training in
bioacoustics, and who may not be sophisticated computer users. They
typically do not need a lot of flexibility, bells and whistles,
measurement
capabilities, etc. The programs used by most researchers would be more
complex than necessary and potentially confusing or intimidating.
"Simple"
is the key.
Does anyone on the list know of particular programs that fit this
description, preferably with recommendations?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
