"The space on any graph which results from plotting of the various dimensions of sound against one another. For convenience in reading usually only two dimensions are plotted at once. Thus time may be plotted against frequency, frequency against amplitude, or amplitude against time. Aural space is thus merely a notational convention and should not be confused with acoustic space, which is an expression of the profile of a sound over the landscape." [1]
