What is a sensory word for sound?

There isn't a single perfect "sensory word" for sound in the same way that "visual" is for sight.

However, here are some words that describe sound and its sensory experience:

General:

* Auditory - This is the most direct and scientific term for sound.

* Sonic - This word emphasizes the power and intensity of sound.

* Aural - This word suggests a focus on the act of listening.

More evocative:

* Melodic - This implies a pleasing and harmonious sound.

* Cacophonous - This suggests a harsh and unpleasant sound.

* Sonorous - This conveys a rich and deep sound.

* Resonant - This suggests a sound that vibrates and lingers.

* Echoing - This emphasizes the way sound can travel and rebound.

The best word to use depends on the specific sound you are describing and the effect you want to create.
