Zombies as Indicators of Player Presence

[beavaroo 90]

Search function hasn't provided an answer and experimentation keeps getting me killed, so...

How close to a structure/village do you need to be in order for zeds to spawn?

If I am say 200 to 300m outside of a village doing some recon before a loot run and I see zeds roaming, are they reacting to my presence or should I presume someone else is in, or nearer to, the village?

From my experience, 200-300 meters away and you will spawn them, If you see them on the other side of town, probably another player. Also a lot (I think) of the time they will start walking in the direction of whoever spawned them.

300m? No, I would say about 100m.

But lets say you want to explore Airfield, use binocs from safe distance, if there is at least 1 zombie near hangars or tower then there is/used to be a player, but if its empty then its safe to go.
