sonics
Study of sound
Sonics refers to sound, especially as a field of study or technology.
The term appears in contexts involving acoustic properties, sound waves, or audio engineering: The band hired an expert to improve their live sonics.
Sonic boom, sonic barrier, and similar compounds use the singular form.
In casual use, sonics can describe the overall sound quality or character of music: The album's warm sonics recall 1970s recordings.
