Yes, my instincts and experience tell me that this should be true -- say down to 10' -- but I haven't done a clean experiment to prove it to myself, so some caution is advised.

And I'll point out that below say 200 Hz, all the L1 systems are essentially omnidirectional and the spacing of 10, 20, or even 30' can create an audible "power alley". Once you get beyond these distances, the balloon animal has so many closely spaced bulges and creases -- even at lower frequencies -- that our ear doesn't hear them individually but rather hears the average. The [[{{PAGENAME}}#Balloon Animal|balloon animal]] turns into something more like a Japanese fan.
