It seems to be the default setting for "rolloff factor" in audio settings is far too intense.
In other words, sounds fade too quickly as you move away from them.
I use about 1/5 power, so to speak. I would like to see Linden Lab adjust this to a lower level so that people can more reliably hear sounds near them.

Ah yes. I became more consciously aware of this after you mentioned it. I'll vouch for this too... it can be even stranger when you spin your head in a crowd that's broadcasting sounds -- the effect seems very exaggerated by default to me.

Yes I've noticed this for some time now that things are harder to hear in SL, turning up my volume is a bad idea though because then when I go near the source, my ears get blown out.
Wind and such seems the same volume, but any actual other sounds from audio source objects (avatars inclueded) seem harder to hear.
I would actualy qualify this as a bug myself.
