Why is Discordance rank 1 better than 3?
I mean, the longer notification seems to hurt not help. It means I can head over there and everyone is long gone...

Rank 1 is better if one Survivor leaves the gen. Rank 3 is better if they don't.

how is rank 3 better ?

The knowledge that they've been on a gen for that extra time. Longer intervals means longer periods in which the gen activity was concentrated.

gives you extra time to notice it

Discordance is the only perk in the game that gets worse when you level it up. By increasing the period between notifications, you're getting less information, and know that survivors left the gen more slowly. Every other perk that you don't want to level is very specific, niche circumstances (like keeping Whispers at rank 2 on Pig so that you can crouch just beyond her TR range so that survivors don't get that hint that you're coming), whereas Discordance is worse in all circumstances by leveling up since it's impacting the core utility of the perk.
If they wanted to keep the increase timer on the noise notification, they could also add a secondary effect that adds a check every 4/2/1 seconds that turns the gen white if the survivors have gotten off the gen since the last noise notification. This way, you'd actually get added information from each level of the perk.

we should be able to run a lower level perk in these rare cases
