Also I suppose this also available in H3 configs, but anyway here is few notes about objects that do have sounds:
- All dwellings have sounds. There also standard sword collision sound that used by default.
- Almost sure that all mines include abandoned one have unique sound.
- Teleports have different sounds depend on type:
- - One way
- - Two way
- - Subterranean Gate

BTW here is WAV file with normalized sound from Magic plains. Using it it's should be easier to determine needed sound level depend on distance. In this file captured from H3 hero stand 4 tiles from magic plains and then moving by one. Each time background sound become louder.

From what I personally see:
S - When you stand on source is 100% volume
1 - Tiles around source have 90% volume
2 - One tile away is 60%
3 - Two tiles away is 30%

Yes the amplitude goes like 90-60-30%. Please do not confuse amplitude with loudness ;)

Sadly I'm have about zero experience with sound recording / editing so I have no idea how that's must work.

What loudness it's should be then?

UPD: Ok, I RTFM ;-)

So full list of ambient sounds is now on gist:

Idea for further improvement.
1) store also 4 tile away sound sources
2) update amplitude every frame during movement transition between tiles to make volume changes smooth.

Ok here is a bit of correction on original statement how ambient sounds work for objects. In case of visitable map objects sound only visitable tiles work as sound source.

Though for special terrains every tile is sound source and same valid for volcanos. Sadly I'm not sure how to handle that yet considering volcano is only static object that have ambient sound.
