hörbarer

Hörbarer is the comparative form of the German adjective hörbar, meaning audible or perceivable by ear. It is used to express that one sound or signal is more audible than another. For example, "Der Ton ist hörbarer geworden" or "Der Ton ist hörbarer als zuvor." The superlative form is "am hörbarsten," as in "Unter allen Geräuschen war dieses am hörbarsten."

Hörbar is formed from the verb hören (to hear) with the suffix -bar, which yields a meaning like "able to be heard." The comparative "hörbarer" follows standard German adjective inflection. In attributive position, it takes appropriate endings: "ein hörbarer Ton" or "der hörbare Klang." In predicative use one may say "Der Ton ist hörbar" and still use "hörbarer" in comparison.

The term appears frequently in discussions of acoustics, audio engineering, or media where relative loudness or clarity matters. Its negation is unhörbar or nicht hörbar, meaning inaudible.
