An audio signal refers to an electrical representation of sound that is transmitted through a device or system. There are various synonyms used to describe this term, some of which include sound wave, acoustic signal, audio frequency, sound signal, and audio wave. Each of these terms describes the transmission of sound waves in different ways, depending on the particular context in which they are used. For example, an acoustic signal may be used to describe the physical properties of the sound wave, while an audio wave may refer to the mechanical or electrical aspects of the transfer. Regardless of the terminology used, the primary purpose of an audio signal is to convey sound from one point to another.
