audio
What speakers produce
Audio refers to sound, especially as recorded, transmitted, or reproduced electronically.
It covers the range of frequencies humans can hear.
Audio works as both noun and adjective: The audio was terrible on that call, audio equipment, audio file.
In video contexts, audio is the sound component as distinct from the visual: We have picture but no audio.
