What is the radius of a raging song?
All the rules I can find is 'Allies must be able to hear the Song'. On a quiet day, I can imagine singing to go quite a long way (think of yodeling Swiss dudes, for example).
Does this mean that, theoretically, with a single level 12 Skald with Greater Elemental Blood (air), you could have an army of thousands fly through the air and rain death from above?
And I can imagine that magical Items may give a voice sound amplifier. A single Skald could evacuate a whole city by this measure.
In the most extreme case, a level 12, cha 29 half orc or half elf bard with 6 times the 'extra performance' feat could keep them all flying for 82 rounds. Enough to reach the next mountain, I reckon.
These are extremes, but a cha 16 half orc without any extra performance would already reach 40 rounds of flying 1.000 people using nothing but a bullhorn, or not even that, to sing ride of the Valkyries at the top of his lungs.
Most of the raging song performances have their own ranges within each description. Inspired Rage, however, does not appear to, so this is a reasonable question. Most of the other songs that buff allies are limited to 60ft, so I would assume that is the intended range for Inspired Rage as well.

That's correct all your allies need to be able to do is hear it, it has no max range. This functions just like bardic song: inspire courage.
Barring exceptional circumstances, it just works. Silence spells, being encased in solid rock, or 200' of seperation, sure, those are unusual circumstances that call for some adjudication, but in most fights, just don't waste your time on it.
Improvise a megaphone for maximum carnage.
