Yes, real-time spectrogram applications may add spurious harmonics
because they need to use simpler algorithms in order to execute fast
enough on slower machines. However, a good off-line spectrogram
software should not introduce any false harmonics.

These "side lobes" can be reduced by using either a Flattop or a
Blackman window instead of the common Hamming window.
