Surge/ Jolt scream bug

If a survivor is downed by a basic attack and triggers Surge/ Jolt, all survivors sitting on the affected generators scream. As a result, not only does the generator regress, but all screaming survivors also provide information to the killer about whether they are at a generator or not.

The killer doesn't receive Killer Instinct or anything similar; accordingly, they can only hear the screams. Nevertheless, this provides the killer with more information than they should have through the perk.

This bug has been present for quite some time, approximately since the Eruption change. But I'm not 100 % sure about the timespan.

Is this intentional, or is it a bug?

If it's intentional, why isn't that stated in the description of the perk?

    From Surge's wiki page:

    Patch 7.0.0

    Buff (undocumented): Survivors now scream in addition to being interrupted by the exploding Generator.

    This is not a bug. It's entirely intentional, it just doesn't mention it in the description of the perk.
