The excursion of the string is so slight that I can't believe that an object 1/2" away could cause air to offer much impedance. I'm willing to bet if I held my thumb 1/2" from the string right above the strike point, no one could tell me when it was there and when it wasn't, blindfolded. Sorry I don't have something more positive to offer as an explanation for optimal checking=louder tone. I'll be watching this space anxiously.
