Dying Survivors not making any Sound???

I had more than one match tonight where I slugged a survivor and randomly noticed when searching for them (100% made certain after noticing it the first time) that they were not making any sounds, no crying, moaning, screaming, nothing just dead silent.

I actually thought that it may have been a Iron Will buff that I was not aware of, since my Survivor always makes a ton of noise when in dying state even with IW on.. so I made sure to check at the end of the match if that Survivor was using Iron Will just in case.. and none of them were.

So, it definitely has nothing to do with Iron Will, and I checked and they were not using any other perks that mentioned anything about reducing sound, especially not in dying state.. so howcome these survivors, more than once, randomly made no sound at all while they were crawling on the ground??

I'm not really sure, has anyone else experienced this at all lately? Is this just a bug that I was not aware of? I've never been in dying state as a Survivor without making noise.

    Yeah, it is a bug. And has nothing to do with Iron Will.

    Oh my, thank you very much! That is a pretty rough bug to deal with if you're slugging!!

    Sounds don't work with the last update but since it's a killer bug it's less important. I think they will fix it in two months or three

    In one of the matches I had a 3 gen with gens close enough so I could hear them all from one place. But what do you think? I couldn't hear them unless I looked directly at them. When I noticed that I've figured, how some of survivors managed to get behind me without me hearing them: I just couldn't, game literally doesn't have a sound of some objects when they're on the side or behind you. I wonder if those survivors thought, what an idiot I am for not noticing.

    Yeah, it does not only affect slugging, it also can happen to injured Survivors. They can make injured sounds, being healed and when injured again, they are completely quiet.

    It is basically like this since the Oni-Chapter got released. I would expect a Hotfix when they are back in the office, but maybe also during Midchapter. They rolled out a Hotfix for some Bugs earlier, but since they were not able to find the issue with this bug, they could not fix it and they did not want to do a Patch before they are all out of the office.

    Yikes, I did not realized it is also happening to "injured" as well, but probably because I just assumed they are using Iron Will.. dang, hopefully this will be fixed soon as it is definitely trouble for killers! Thanks for the feedback!

    I don't know what the process is to replicate it but I've noticed it a couple times while i wasn't running iron. Audio can be really odd too sometimes when working on a gen if i pan the camera to a wall at a certain angle the gen noises are muffled? Cant imagine why its all weird since adding oni
