Hearing uninjured survivors from inside lockers

So I have been playing some matches and sometimes I hid in a locker (must be said that I hide early before killer is in the area, haven't even run, so no scratch marks, and I was not injured at this moment) and sometimes there are 3 or 4 other lockers in the same area, if they are not side by side, and killers sometimes (not every time but most of the time) just pass by, then turn back and check in my locker to find me... not the others..... MY very locker....

So I get people can play with goud headsets and all, but why should killers be able to hear that much survivors hiding in locker (cuz that is what i suspect, killers hear survivors brething i guess) at this point? I understand and it is very legit to hear muffled sounds of INJURED survs.... but why should the killers be able so easily to find people with good headsets. At this point, it is a pay to win killer sided (just pay a 300$ headsets and you will find survivors by hearing them 32 meters around...)

At this point I think a game sound calibration should be worked on since some perks makes killer hearing much more breathing of survivors (oh and sometimes when I look post game the killer's perk, they dont even run it, so imagine if it is the case) something is wrong IMO and ruin my experience (not all the time, but mostly) for lots of my games.

    To be fair, they very easily could've seen your aura through a perk, and at that point it's a fair logical guess that you're gonna be in a locker. Just luck that they guessed yours right.

    If they were close when you hid, the locker doors do also make a sound when you open them, so there's that too.

    The overall point is- if they know or suspect you're in that area, checking lockers is pretty reasonable. It might have nothing to do with sound whatsoever. I've got completely messed up hearing in one ear and I find survivors in lockers all the time, because the cue they're in there is often visual, not audio.

    I'm sorry, but at that point either don't hide while injured or bring a perk that silences your noises.

    I have a few ideas maybe this may help you figure it out

    1 IF it was trickster or huntress perhaps they were reloading i had a few trickster games reloading an screamed when survivor is in there

    2 that locker aura perk

    3 if you were streaming perhaps stream snipe or a team mate pointed you out?

    4 maybe a crow on locker?

    5 doctors illusions can show near lockers which can show him roughly were you are

    6 killer instinct from killers such legion dredge for example

    7 freddy has a breathing addon to make sounds louder also maybe stidor perk?
