Hello. If I want to say my project has great graphics, I say it is visually stunning.
Now, what would I say, following a similar format to that, if my project had great "audio/sounds/"?

Technically probably "aurally", perhaps "audibly" would be better — or just "stunning audio".

10Aurally seems right to me here, not audibly. Aurally stunning means its aural aspects are stunning; audibly stunning would mean you can hear that it’s stunning.– PLLCommented May 19, 2011 at 2:52

Aurally is correct but how many people would know? And how many would jst snigger?– mgbCommented May 19, 2011 at 4:00

1Aurally may actually be correct, but quite apart from the unavoidable connotations with invisible emanations, there's also confusion with orally in speech. Commented May 19, 2011 at 18:38

2That's why "audibly better" (is that Dolby's logo?) might be better even if not specifically correct– mgbCommented May 19, 2011 at 18:42
If it is visibly stunning, then it should
Aurally stunning

Snerk. I assume it's a typo, but "visibly stunning" (can be seen to be stunning) would be matched by "audibly stunning" (can be heard to be stunning).– user1579Commented May 19, 2011 at 17:45

Idiot: As Rhodri points out, OP asked for a word corresponding to visually, not visibly. Commented May 19, 2011 at 18:35
"Auditorily" seems to fit well.

Nice one! Incredibly rare word, so much so that Webster thinks its often just a mis-spelling of auditorly (for 'like an auditor', would you believe!) Commented May 19, 2011 at 18:32
I would say "acoustically", since Merriam-Webster defines acoustic as " relating to the sense or organs of hearing, to sound, or to the science of sounds".
