id assume they were talkin w/in a couple hundred feet. sound travels at about 1000ft per second, so anything w/in that would still be able to hear it loud and clear so long as there are no obstacles like trees, houses, or masses of people in the way. but yeah, the closer you are, the more it'll sound like your ears are exploding.
