Field of vision equivalent for other senses? [closed]

Often we'll refer to something as being "in my field of vision". How would you refer to something in the "field" of what we can hear, smell, taste, or touch?

Perhaps another way to put this question is: vision is to seeing as <what?> is to hearing/smelling/touching/tasting. (But it should still make sense in the context of the expression "field of vision".)


I don't think there's a common idiom for touch or for taste, since those require physical contact. You can use "range" as a catch-all, and it's used idiomatically with hearing.

The factory isn't in my range of hearing (or 'my hearing range'), so I don't know if they've rung the bell for shift change.

But I can't say I've ever seen the expression "My range of smell". Typically, distance isn't specified with smell unless it's very extreme. It's an attribute of the odor itself, not of my ability to sense it.

I could smell the fire from miles away.

She's wearing a very faint perfume, I could only smell it when I hugged her.
