How far away you can hear a voice calling your name depends on many factors and cannot be reduced to a single number. Factors influencing hearing distance include:
- ground - is it sand, forest, mountains, jungle, etc
- weather - is the wind strong or weak, is there a storm in progress , etc
- wind direction - is the wind blowing from the calling person to you or from you to the calling person, or in-between
- urbanization - are you in a city, suburb or on a farm
- traffic - is traffic light or heavy, moving fast or slow
- volume - how loud is the person calling
