How can you visualize sounds/music?
What are the forms of sound imaging? Sound is an acoustic wave - so you can probably show a simple sound as a wavy line. But most sounds in life are a mixture of these waves of different frequencies and sources. How to visualize something like this?
I guess there are such "visualizers" (what's it called?) typically entertaining - already prehistoric Winamp offered such functions when playing music.
But are there any professional, professional terms for these things? Are there any standards for this field?

In software such as FL STUDIO you have many such professional tools for this. You just have to get acquainted with this topic, but I recommend it because I make music myself.

Sound visualization is the process of transforming sound into an image. This is primarily used to interpret audio data, since audio is difficult to visually perceive directly.
There are several ways to visualize sound, including:
Spectral visualization - consists in presenting the sound in the form of a frequency spectrum. The sound is converted into a digital signal and analyzed for its constituent frequencies.
Frequency visualization - consists in drawing a curve that reflects the amplitude of the sound depending on the frequency.
Real-time sound visualization - dynamic presentation of sound in real time, e.g. by generating moving graphics based on audio data.
Sound visualization of the sonification type, which consists in converting data not directly related to sound into sound, so as to better understand and interpret this data.
Sound visualizations are popular in the entertainment industry, such as concerts, music festivals, performances, or used in education, research or advertising.
Many music playback programs such as Winamp and iTunes offer audio visualization functions, however, these functions are rather for entertainment purposes and are not intended for professional audio analysis.

interesting work, you can read about visualization in a 3D environment
