When I look at an Enderman I can't hear the creepy 'stare' noise unless I'm close up to the enderman I looked at.

The stare noise plays for 16 blocks from the player, not the Enderman. (Happens also with Wither Spawn and Enderdragon death, though their range is a bit longer).
I could swear you could hear from any distance before 1.8 came out. If you go on 1.7.10 then you'll hear it from any distance, if you go on 1.8 you would have to be close up to the Enderman.
Seems to be regressing in 1.12.2; when you look at an Enderman from far away the sound is very quiet or inaudible until you get closer to the source.
You should give a little more detail on this. Maybe record this issue with a screen capture software, or take enough screenshots to show this? I know what you mean, but we could use a little more detail.
