I’ve corrected my previous comments w.r.t. the terminology, thank you.
That being said, assuming those two spectrograms are using a comparable frequency scale, they show quite a bit of a difference: The upper spectrogram shows a near complete “black” stop across all but the lowest frequencies, while the lower spectrogram does not: The 2nd-lowest frequencies continue virtually unchanged, the mid frequencies are only reduced to a dark purple, not completely dark, and only the upper frequencies are truly dark. Those are not the same sound.
Well you’re right that there is colour in the “sky” spectrogram, but if you loop the dark segment (easy in audacity) you will hear that it’s just background noise. The “Kindern” sample has had noise removed or been recorded in a studio setting. It’s also worth bearing in mind the colours are on a log scale; if you switch over to looking at the waveform you can see just how little is going on in both of those little gaps.
If this interests you there’s a whole world of phonology and linguistics out there waiting for you… my mind was blown as a teenager when I learned about ich-Laut and ach-Laut.
