|---|---|
| definition | Not heard or capable of being heard. |
| eg_sentence | The coach spoke to her in a low voice that was inaudible to the rest of the gymnastics team. |
| explanation | With its negative prefix in-, inaudible means the opposite of audible. What's clearly audible to you may be inaudible to your elderly grandfather. Modern spy technology can turn inaudible conversations into audible ones with the use of high-powered directional microphones, so if you think you're being spied on, make sure there's a lot of other noise around you. And if you don't want everyone around you to know you're bored, keep your sighs inaudible. |
