acoustically
Through sound waves
Acoustically describes something in terms of sound or hearing.
A room that is acoustically designed optimizes how sound travels within it.
A song performed acoustically uses only non-electric instruments: The band played the set acoustically.
The word can also mean by means of sound: Bats navigate acoustically.
