I'm sure CoolEdit can produce a sonogram just as clear and precise as the 
ones on Walt's pages - have you tried adjusting the settings? Go to 
Options-Settings-Spectral - there you can adjust the resolution, energy 
range, plot type, etc. Try playing with these until you get the look you're 
after. Once you have an acceptable picture, just press the "Print Screen" 
button on your keyboard - this places the screenshot on your clipboard. 
Then you can paste that picture into any graphics editor for further 
editing if needed.
