German term or phrase: hallt hier wie aus der nächsten Nähe wieder
I am translating a series of letters of Sigmund Freud. This is an extract of one of these letters, written in 1914:

"Eigentlich fühlt man jetzt die geographische Entfernung verringert. Oesterreich u Deutschland sind eins u jede Nachricht von dort **hallt hier wie aus der nächsten Nähe wieder**. ...

I'm looking for an appropriate wording in English

..any news from over there resonate with us on the deepest level

in German, by the way, it should be: hallt ......Naehe wider.
