How do zombie's detection work?

  • Can they hear stuff like gen repair, healing, totem cleansing or grunts of pain?
  • Can they see/follow scratch marks or blood trails?
  • Do they react to crows cawing?
  • Do any killer actions draw their attention?
  • Do things from perks affect them like noise notifications and screams? (Tinkerer, Discordance, Hoarder, Spies From the Shadows, Surge, Infectious Fright, Dragon's Grip, Deathbound, Iron Maiden, Eruption, stuff like that)

All I know is they can see in front of them and some noises draw their attention like vaulting, but I don't know much about it. Would be super nice to know because I'm really curious what all they can or can't detect or track
