What music do you guys listen to while playing DBD?

I find myself listening to music box covers for songs it helps me calm down, especially when I play killer and the sound it soothing and unobtrusive to the gameplay.

    Uh nothing. As a killer there's way to many audio ques for finding survivors. Even if I am casually grinding BPs like I often do, you are purposely handicapping your trials by playing music over the game.

    I actually listen to my own music, particularly this one song I wrote called
    “The sound of my friends bitching about gen rushing in the Discord call”.

    If I'm solo usually chill music on spotify like synthwave, vapor wave, tomppabeats, lofi, etc.

    that's why i do music box, there's nothing like it in the game and its typically so low volume that it doesn't affect anything

    Whatever I add to my Spotify favorites.  It is mostly Rock, Grunge and Metal music.

    Whatever I'm feeling like that day. I listen to a bit of everything and typically change the lyrics I'm singing along to match what I am doing in the game.

    Small tip, Bohediam Rapsody is EPIC when getting chased by a killer.

    Curious how killers say that they can't afford to hear music while survivors blast all kinds of music. 
    Almost as if one side is constantly stressed and the other one has a relaxing match.

    Depends on your mind set and own play style. Some killers can do just fine without needing to constantly "stress" themselves over needing to hear everything, even at red ranks.

    I can listen to music easily as a survivor as long as it has no lyrics. However if it's billy, LF, nurse, or spirit then I can't do it because I need to hear their abilities.

    Nothing while playing DBD but sometimes during the lobby. Mostly Cannibal Corpse.

    I absolutely agree that it comes down to play style and probably experience. I'll still have the volume of the game playing through my headphones, but quite low. Enough to hear the audio queues for both sides anyways.

    I wish I could listen to the Halloween (Michael Myers) theme for every killer....and also pretty much non-stop throughout my day.

    Honestly, I challenge anyone to name ONE thing it doesn't go well with.

    To no music. I want to hear the ingame sounds, another reason why i am not talking to anyone when i team up with a friend sometimes.

    I usually listen to Megadeath while playing as the killer. More specifically:

    • Peace Sells, But Who's Buying?
    • Killing is My Business

    As the survivor, my music tastes are honestly too random to list.

    I can’t stand loud noises while playing that’s like the worst is when I’m playing swf and there’s that one guy with music blasting and you have no idea what’s going on

    That’s just an opinion and you know it, most survivors I know would never want that

    I listen to chase music while running in circles for 10 minutes.. 

    Ok for real now I don't listen to music while playing DBD. Would rather listen out for survivors as much as possible.

    I usually play a little bit of 'elevator music' when I'm camping with Leatherface to pass the time.

    I only play music in the lobby while I am waiting to get my pumped/in the mood, for example, the theme from Saw whenever I play Piggy

    While actually playing?
    Cause then i listen to whatever the game decides to play.

    In the main menu and lobby though, i got my own playlist consisting of about 400 songs, so that's too many to name.

    Love me some Marina and the Diamonds while I'm spending blood points! Don't think I could play it in game, though. Regardless of whether I'm a killer or survivor I need to listen. Michael's asthma attacks have saved me more than once from getting pulled off a generator.

    Usually if it's Myers I like to have "Don't Fear the Reaper" softly playing in the background.

    Sleeping. Can't sleep cause it plays continuously and every minute it switches between the loud version and normal version.

    I still want to be able to disable the music, the DAYZ ambient tracks would make survivor-stealth panic inducing.

    Where da hood at ear wreck everytime you initiate a chase with a survivor. Followed by an incredibly shaky screen and distorted audio. 

    Get on it devs. Tick tock. This man knows quality!

    When I'm playing killer, I put myself in an empty Discord channel and listen for the sounds of survivors breathing and whimpering.

    When I'm playing survivor, I listen to the sounds of my friends bitching because I'm playing DBD instead of Ark, GW2, 7DtD, or whatever they're playing at the time.

    Your comment perfectly sums up the difficulty difference between survivor and killer.

    Your name is so Finnish that I can hear you screaming ÄÅÄÅÄÅÄÅÄÅ at the Swedes.

    And as any good man knows, anything Scandinavian is synonymous with death metal.

    I listen to meme music lmao cause its funny or like james bond theme song or mission impossible when im playing survivor only tho. Some meme songs i like are sandstorm, the pink panther theme, spanish flea (one of my fav's), crabvibe (from crab game) SONIC green trill zone (another fav) or can you feel the sunshine, among us drip song pretty fire too, Super mario bubblaine or sometimes tetris music is good. CANNOT FORGET Wii Music!!!!! Anyway its fun hiding from the killer or running while you have the james bond theme in the background makes me giggle. <3
