Q:

"View", but for hearing

I know a lot of words, but it's driving me crazy that I can't think of one for this. I'm sure there must be one. I want to be able to say: 

I had not only a great view of the ocean from that room, but also a great _, 

where the blank means that I could hear it well as well as see it. Does such a word exist? (Rather, does it exist in the lexicon of "words regular people would recognize as being English" — that's what I'm looking for, not an extremely archaic word or one you made up. )

A:

A soundscape possibly even a Geophony.

A:

I don't think there is a single word for it, and if there were it would be so obscure as to render it largely useless.
I would probably say "aural vantage point".

A:

People tend to use the word ambience when it comes to sound, like we would temperature.
I am suggesting

I had not only a great view of the ocean from that room, but also a great sound ambience.

or

I had not only a great view of the ocean from that room, but also a great auditory ambiance.  

Further suggestions,

I had not only a great view of the ocean from that room, but also a calming/exciting/interesting auditory/sound/aural ambience.
