Why are Some Survivors so Loud!?
Been playing as Jeff and you would swear the dude is out of shape or something. Just casually walking gets him out of breath. Bill doesn’t make as much noise as this dude and he’s a chain smoker! It’s kinda bullcrap that just to play the dude you have to run Iron Will, though it doesn’t seem to help his regular uninjured breathing. Or else the killer can hear you on the other side of the map. Are there any other survivors like this? Why did the devs make them like this? Is there any perks that make them not sound like this?

All survivors used to be louder, but sounds were basically nerfed over time.
I have to play Ash with Iron WIll cause he is too loud.

Ash is super loud which is why most people dont run him. He sounds like he is going to croke while running lol, you have to run Iron Will with him LOL.

It's probably a bug like with Elodie's scream

That is why Kate is best survivor.

I like the differences in sounds. I mean the loudness of each Survivor is what makes them unique.

And what them not playable by a large chunk of the community.

Jane is probably the loudest female character in the game and I still see her often enough. Play her a good amount myself. I enjoy the uniqueness because in reality, not everyone is going to be some silent fox. And, from a gameplay standpoint... Just run Iron Will if it's so bothersome.

I disagree. Meg is QUITE loud and she is probably the most played female character along with Claudette (who is also on the louder side). Even just her breathing is super loud. Feng is loud. Yui is loud. Jane is THE loudest and they are played quite often.
I don’t know why many people don’t played Jeff and Ash but it’s not because they’re loud or else everyone would be an Ace main.

People definitely don't play Jane for her assets

I main Jeff. I play him constantly. Sound very rarely matters and rarely is the deciding factor to my death. Except for against Spirits, where... I mean I'm dead no matter who I play since I don't run Iron Will and even then a lot of Spirits run Stridor.

Playing Jeff is pretty much giving the killer stridor. I would know since I main him

Because human ears aren't sensitive to every frequency in the same way, so it creates the illusion of one character being louder than another. You also have to take into account ambient sounds, which can mask other sounds.
In practice, they're all at the same volume.

Maybe for injured but Jeff’s breathing is 100% louder than some others especially when running

Well some survivors have designed differently. Their sizes, normal breathing and injured breathing and I think there is even videos for that you can find. Jeff is largest and most loudy ones. No matter either he is injured or not he is always loud while Ace is always close to silent. I think that they add some flaour to the game. If you want a quiet survivor use Ace. Even injured that person is really quiet.
Other than that Iron will only negates the breathing and grunts of pain while injured so if you are not injured your survivor still have his heavy breathing and etc...
You can check that video that I sent you at the beginning you can see the survivors size,grunts and general voices.

Jeff Johnson is the loudest. True Fact.

No cosmetics.

As an Ash main, I have to run Iron will, and its a relief when i'm injured, as uninjured, his regular breathing is so damn loud I fear his heart will give up before the killer finds me.

Also Jeff’s design just doesn’t appeal to a lot of people it seems which is fair

I like his outriders outfit. It looks badass.

Ash is so incredibly loud. It makes me worried just being near the dude cause everyone within a ten mile radius can hear him.

The loudest survivor IMO is Meg, her grunts of pain and breathing are audible enough that you can hear them over other sounds (Rustling Grass, Corn, Repairing, Dropping a Pallet, etc.)
I think the only reason people play her is because she's short and can stealth easily under the right circumstances.
I think that's why no one plays Jeff, Adam, or Bill. They're so loud AND can't stealth easily because they're tall and w i d e

I got found in a locker once, no scratch marks or blood trails, had hidden in there to hide from bbq and I was like "how did he know I was...oh, right."

I play Ace with iron will. Talk about overkill.

Anybody hear Yun-Jin's?
She's literally crying the entire time.

When I play with a friend he always says "Oh God you spawned next to me.. I can hear your breathing!"
I play Feng - and she is quite loud. I just tell my friend: "She has asthma be nice!!!!!!!!!!!"

Yeah, she's a bit annoying with her sounds. That's why I use iron will 😂. Not because I don't wamt killer to hear her, but I don't want to be listening to her crying all the time.

Oh no...
-Flashback to release Elodie-

ash is one of my mains and i dont use iron will on him. iron will usually doesnt do me much good since the killer is always on my tail

I like Ash because he has a strong horror legacy and he is the absolute funniest.
