I wouldn't be too sure about that. I live in a suburban area with single
family homes on 1/3 to 1/2 acre lots. My across-the-street neighbor had
children around the same time we did, and our baby monitors interacted -- we
could hear their's, the could here our's. (Actually, we lived on opposite
sides of a cul-de-sac circle, so probably 150' from their front door to our
front door.)
The electrical feed for the entire street (10 homes, maybe a few more around
the corner) are fed from the same transformer.
