The interesting thing here is that our principle method of judging distance 
with 
our hearing is to estimate the amount of direct sound relative to the 
reverberant sound.  All of this happens more or less without our conscious 
intervention.  The sound source is simply observed to sound as though it is 
near 
or far.  There can be substantial reverberant sound in natural environments.
