Do we have an estimate for likelihood of noticing earth as a life containing planet as a function of how far away we might imagine ourselves in the galaxy given current methods?


I remember reading than from a radio emissions standpoint, we wouldn't detect our activity if it was happening on a planet in the closest star system. I don't know about other methods but very interested too.
