Audibleness

/ˈɔːdɪbəlnəs/ noun

Definition

The state or quality of being audible; the characteristic of producing sound that can be heard.

Etymology

From audible (from Latin audire, to hear) plus -ness, a suffix forming nouns denoting states or qualities. A less common variant of audibility.

Kelly Says

Audibleness is basically a synonym for audibility, but using -ness instead of -ity—a quirk of English where we often have multiple ways to express the same abstract quality.
