Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two phrases have different phonemes ("Wha" vs. "What") and different stress patterns, which would result in significant differences in their spectrograms. Additionally, "Whazzup" likely has more intense and prolonged high-frequency components than "What's up." Therefore, the spectrograms of the two phrases would be quite different.
