I stand very, very quietly. I edit out when I swallow. I've had a
huge problem with stomach gurgles; I learned that I'm quiet if I got
out in the dawn fasting--no wake-up cup of tea.

Of course they drift, about one foot (sound travel time) per minute
is typical. But if the rear pair is fifteen to forty feet away from
the front pair, that won't matter. As Rich Peet said, effectively
decorrelated.
