Since Joe is probably eating dinner at the moment… With 55296 point FFT, a 1600 Hz tone (7.5 sa/period) has 55296/7.5=7372.8 cycles in a record - so there is an endpoint discontinuity (i.e. a discontinuity between the first and last points of the record).
A 1500 Hz tone (8 samples per period) has 6912 cycles in a record, so there’s no endpoint discontinuity. I think that what you’re seeing is the result of using a non-windowed FFT. It’s easily addressed, if necessary.
