From Latin auris (“ear”) +‎ -al.

Adjective

aural (comparative more aural, superlative most aural)

Of or pertaining to the ear.
Of or pertaining to sound.
- 2017 December 22, Rachel Aroesti, “The best albums of 2017, No 1: St Vincent – Masseduction”, in the Guardian‎:
  Clark made the album with producer Jack Antonoff, current collaborator of choice for Taylor Swift and Lorde. His involvement didn’t have a huge aural impact – the thrillingly disjointed but melodically gorgeous St Vincent sound remained intact – but his inclination for taking real-life trauma and fashioning it into pop took the album a step beyond Clark’s previous work.
