I absolutely hated this in IL2. So many so called online 'aces' relied on the sound of approaching planes to alert them. This limited the success rate of B&Z pilots as you couldn't perform a proper bounce without the T&B pilot doing a hard turn towards you as he could hear you coming.

Concur, sound radar is a farce! With a loud inline or radial in front, headset and helmet and loud radio static plus airstream noise across the airframe you cannot hear a fast aircraft getting on your six.
Yes you will be able to sense something if you wing up to another aircraft especially something large and multiengined, buffet, vibration some noise.
