“Audible” has two main meanings in everyday English:

  1. General meaning (sound)
    • Something is “audible” if it can be heard, or is loud/clear enough to be heard.
 * Example: “Her whisper was barely audible over the music,” meaning you could just about hear it.
  1. Brand / app (Audible by Amazon)
    • “Audible” is also the name of Amazon’s audiobook and spoken‑audio service where you can listen to books, podcasts, and other audio programs.

There’s also a sports meaning , mainly in American football: an “audible” is a last‑second change of play that the quarterback calls out at the line of scrimmage after seeing the defense.
