hearable
This term describes the physical possibility of sound reaching the ear, often emphasizing a threshold of perception. It is frequently used to describe sounds that are on the verge of being lost to noise or distance, carrying a nuance of fragility or marginality.
While audible is more common in formal or technical contexts, hearable is often used in casual speech to describe the quality of a sound's clarity. It focuses on the sensory experience of the listener rather than the acoustic properties of the sound source.
