Just from this, it makes sense why the spectrograph is included at all, namely you can visually observe the sound patterns in the actual recording against known sounds already made by different alerting systems in the MD11, which helps understand how the safety systems responded to the incident, which is potentially useful for the existing MD11 fleet, or possibly even future aircraft designs. Site note: MD as in McDonnell Douglas, as in the same company that bought Boeing using Boeing's own money and turned it into the shit that it is today. The last one was made 26 years ago, close to the same time this law was made.
