i see a breakdown at 3 minutes?
the idea is to have the whole image white right?

I have no idea what i'm looking for?

Are you worried about the amount of compression used? Or the lack of a variance across the song?

i think what he's trying to point out is that the frequencies are pretty much cut off somewhere around 17khz... but there could be various reasons for that...
Rodri Santos
a 320k mp3 does not include 20khz+ , only wavs go that far. So both are wavs and if it was reencoded you'd se a brickwall at 20khz if it is a 320k , at 16khz with some 18khz peaks if it is a 192k and at 16khz if it is a 128kbps mp3.

And a VBR would look very random which is not the case, both seem identical, you see purple at 18khz not because it is a reencoded 192kbps mp3 but probably because the track is very limited at that frequencies, i usually cut some sounds at that frequencies, why the hell you want a bass playing that high?¿ In addition 20khz+ sounds are really annoying, you'll rarely want that in your productions (Although i've seen sometimes the usage of that frequencies intentionally, didn't like the results though)

Can most people who are 15+ years old hear 20kHz+ sounds?

i think people that can actually hear a 20khz tone are very rare. and people who can hear a 20khz frequency above the noise of a common electronic dance music track are even rarer...

and i wouldn't say that mp3s don't include 20khz frequencies. that very much depends on the used encoder, or more specifically: on the psycho-acoustic model used by that encoder...

i can tell you that i'm 20 and i hear up to 23khz but i've always taken a lot of care with my ears since i know that when i grow older i will lose this "skill" and i don't want to be deaf at the age of 30, however i agree is difficult to hear that frequencies when they're present on a track. In some techno tracks the pitching leads to this frequencies and i find it very annoying.

Check this track:

That noise is awful
