Well, not Jake so much, since while Elspeth is asleep he’s usually watching her dreams deliberately, or is asleep himself. But the next-door neighbors might have been up late and gone “huh, what’s that?”
Rereading, though: she was only started range exercises the day before they fled … and then she fell asleep in a car and in a plane with Addy present and not touching, so yeah, it would have been noticed.

Though, didn’t Addy say that Elspeth still thinks of her power as touch-based even after she is capable of range?
Maybe she needs to think of her power as ranged on a more instinctual, subconscious level before she begins broadcasting her dreams as she sleeps.
