We numerically investigate the vibrational spectra of single-component clusters in two-dimensions. Stable configurations of clusters at local energy minima are obtained, and for each the hessian matrix is evaluated and diagonalized to obtain eigenvalues as well as eigenvectors. We study the density of states so obtained as a function of the width of the potential well describing the two-body interaction. As the width is reduced, as in three dimensions, we find that the density of states approaches a common form, but the two-peak behavior survives. Further, calculations of the participation ratio show that most states are extended, although a smaller fraction of the degrees of freedom are involved in these modes, compared to three dimensions. We show that the fluctuation properties of these modes converges to those of the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble of random matrices, in common with previous results on three dimensional amorphous clusters and molecular liquids
