'Hearably' is extremely unnatural. 'Audibly' isn't.
Yes, maybe! But these words don't nescessarily convey the notion of a sound to hear, or do they?
They do more than 'hearable/y' does (I don't think I've ever heard it). 'Audibly' ONLY conveys the notion of 'sound', my other 2 suggestions could refer to other senses, too (touch, taste, sight).
I still think 'audibly' is the best alternative in your sentence if you're determined to put an adverb there. Otherwise, you might consider re-writing the sentence.
Candy has it correct. 'Hearably' is just plain wrong. Audibly is what I would go for.
