As I drafted this article I considered these existing articles:
Sonification - communication with sound, especially including machine-generated non-verbal sound
Auditory display - equivalent of a computer monitor, except with sound
Audification - subset of sonification which is the auditory equivalent of visual design, including data sonification within the broad field of design
Data sonification - the sound equivalent of a data visualization like a chart or graph, and excluding features tools for continuous user interaction
My interest in making this was to have a Wikipedia article about the communication concept of figures for presenting data in sound form. Data visualization is a massive and distinct field, and people in the field recognize the difference between producing an image to visualize data and other visual design features to use tools.
