"audible" 描述聲音本身是否「能被聽見」,而 "auditory" 則與「聽覺系統或聽覺過程」相關。
audible vs inaudible
"audible" 與 "inaudible" 是直接的反義詞,分別表示「聽得見的」與「聽不見的」。
audible vs loud
"audible" 強調聲音「能被感知」的基本狀態,而 "loud" 則強調聲音「音量高」的程度。
用於引述或轉述他人說過的話,強調「可以清楚聽見」的狀態。 EN: He muttered something under his breath, but it was still audible. 翻譯: 他低聲咕噥了些什麼,但仍然聽得見。

×He spoke with a loud audible.

"Audible" 是形容詞,不能直接當名詞使用。若要指「聽得見的聲音」,應使用 "audible sound" 或 "audible voice"。
×The music was not hearable from outside.
✓The music was not audible from outside.
雖然 "hearable" 在技術上存在,但在自然英語中極少使用。描述「聲音能被聽見」的標準且常見的形容詞是 "audible"。
×Please speak more audible.
✓Please speak more loudly. / Please speak so that you are audible.
"Audible" 描述的是「能否被聽見」的狀態,而非「音量大小」的程度。修飾說話的「音量」或「方式」應用 "loudly"。若要使用 "audible",應描述結果狀態。
×The sound was able to be audible.
✓The sound was audible.
"Audible" 本身已包含「能夠被聽見」的含義,加上 "able to be" 是多餘且不自然的。直接使用 "was/were audible" 即可。
×The announcement was audible for the whole neighborhood.
✓The announcement was audible to the whole neighborhood.
描述「對某人而言是聽得見的」時,正確的介系詞是 "to",而不是 "for"。"Audible to someone" 是固定搭配。

✓The radio signal was inaudible.
"Invisible" 是「看不見的」,其反義詞是 "visible"。描述「聽不見的」正確形容詞是 "inaudible",它是 "audible" 的直接反義詞。
