Can the characters return later, yes. Do they immediately notice/know the spell has elapsed? No, they would not the sound can only be heard in a 6ft radius (per description) which means if you have a SPD of 6 you'd only have to move for 1-2 second(s) to NOT hear the sound (and most PC/NPCs likely have a much higher SPD).

In practice you would have the PC/NPCs flee an area a distance until the feel safe before deciding to return. That might mean fleeing into the next county, room, outside of the building, etc as it will likley change from PC/NPC to PC/NPC and situation to situation. It would be a GM's call in terms of how long it would take for them to return.
