How does incorrect distance cues processing affect realism?

Example Concept: Distance cues in sound design are crucial for creating a realistic spatial audio environment. These cues include volume attenuation, frequency filtering (such as high-frequency roll-off), and reverberation. When these elements are not accurately processed, sounds may appear too close or too far away, disrupting the listener's perception of space and depth. Properly managing these cues helps maintain the illusion of a coherent and believable auditory scene.
