I keep wondering if this is true or just a thing in my mind.
Do listen ranks increase the range at which you hear pc whisper dialogue or not?

It does not! It only works as a counter to someone's Move Silently skill.
Otherwise we'd probably have characters who could hear people whispering across a zone xD
Juniper Oakley - A Little Bitey
Ny'aza 'Peggy' Philor'tyl - Travelling
Tiffa Took Hss'tafi - Happy in Sigil
i have seen it improve radius of hearing whispers, but it's not a very large improvement. nevertheless it seems noticeable. i could just be going crazy.
I have had a lot of listen on a lot of characters and never noticed this behaviour.
It would be a nice feature of the skill, though as I understand constant distance calculations are problematic for performance.
