Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes confuse "audible" with "audio". "Audible" is an adjective meaning something can be heard. "Audio" is a noun or adjective related to sound in general (e.g., "audio file", "audio system"). Also, learners may wrongly say *"an audible" to mean "a sound"; in general contexts, use "a sound" or "a noise" instead.

[someone] calls an audible
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners may think "audible" here still means only "something that can be heard". In sports, especially American football, "an audible" is a special noun for a last-second changed play called out by the quarterback. They may also incorrectly say *"do an audible" instead of the common phrase "call an audible".
Eş anlamlılar

Zıt anlamlılar
set play (A play that is planned and followed without last-minute changes, the opposite of changing it with an audible.)
