Add Sound for damaging survivors with Crows as Artist

Something I realized when comparing the Artist to other range killers.

Plague - Her range is more or less capped at 12 ~ 13m, so she'll always hear the "splat" sound effect when injuring survivors.

Deathslinger - He literally pulls you into an M1. Nothing else is needed.

Trickster - Whenever you injure a survivor with your knives, there's a screeching chord and glass breaking that plays. As much as I loathe this killer, I cannot deny that that sound effect is extremely satisfying.

Huntress - First range killer and with her ability to cross-map, she has a simple but also simply satisfying "crunch" sound effect whenever she lands a hatchet from any range.

Artist, however, doesn't. She has a sound effect when swarming a survivor but not when damaging them. While the generic splat sound effect works just fine in chases, you'll notice the absence of any sound effects during those moments when you land a cross-map as Artist. The only way you know you damaged them is by looking at the HUD.

I don't mind if it takes the form of her birds cawing or a violin screech but I'd like there to be something.

It's a minor thing but I feel would make Artist feel immensely more satisfying to land long-ranged hits as.

    +1. I hate that when I show my friends clips of me playing artist I have to tell them when I made a hit instead of it being obvious.

    Yeah it makes no sense why Artist doesn't have a sound for that.

    Yeah, did not expect that, ngl. But, hey, it was true then and it's true now—Artist having an sfx would be awesome.

    Of course, now we have Unknown, who also has their own SFX, and Springtrap, about whom I'm not sure, but he's capped at around 14m anyway, so you'll always hear something.

    Not to mention, they were about to nerf Bird Lady before giving her that simple QoL change.
