On the left you the Spectrum of Browne Noise (more deep frequencies), on the right pink noise (more higher frequencies). Because of the window it looks almost the same. you must watch on the numbers bur you cannot see visualy, that the right one is the one with more higher frequencies.

I think it would be better like here (i made it with photoshop...)

The window is always from 6dB to -90dB (you can zoom in of course) and you see visualy, that the right one (pink noise) has more higher Frequencies, compare to the left one. that would be easier i think. I know, Audacity is not a "much money project", but its great and it would be great when it goes like this.
So the "feature request" is to add the ability to turn off auto-scaling of the dB range.
+1 from me.
