Does Meg breathe louder than other survivors?
So I was playing a match last night as The Pig and I actually felt pretty mean on this one Meg, as she was really stealthy and I never actually saw her, I just kept hearing her. It honestly sounded so exaggerated how loud her breathing was through my headphones. It sounded like she had never done a day of cardio in her life. No other survivor sounded so loud, it was literally just the Meg. I didn't have any perks equipped to make breathing noises louder either, it's just whenever I would crouch walk past her location I could hear her having a cardiac arrest behind cover.
Was this a sound glitch or is Meg just really loud?

Stridor?

I wasn't using any perks that made people breathe louder...
I was using Surveillance, Make Your Choice, A Nurse's Calling & NOED.

I think so actually, whenever I play Meg and start a match, I always think, "Is there Stridor?" but whenever I play as any other survivor and the killer does have Stridor, I never notice. Weird. :O

I main Meg and I actually thought I was being followed by the killer she is so loud!

Yes 100%. Meg is loud af when breathing, she always has been.

One time, I was lucky, I heard heavy breathing but apparently it was a Pig that vaulted a window over me and missed me XD. I was playing Meg and she somehow didn't see me.

Meg was loud but she seems even louder after the update.

I main Spirit. All the survivors have different audio levels. It also varies on the map. Bill echoes really bad on Autohaven, for example. The swamp maps tend to be the most consistent audio-wise.

Seems like they keep making survivors louder, which makes being stealthy much more difficult. You'd think that since Meg is an athlete, she'd be able to run ten feet without sounding like she's having an asthma attack...

Seems true after they added additional noises to every survivor for jumping from high places not too long ago.

As a Jeff main, I know the feel.

Meg's breathing is so loud! I usually main her or Feng Min and whenever I play Feng I never notice her breathing as much as I notice Meg's whenever I'm playing a match with her

I dont know what kind of Meg cosmetics you are using, but my Meg only has 2 feet.

Having played Jeff for a while trying to level him up, and standing next to a Meg for a little bit... No. She is not. Is she loud? Yes, but not the loudest.
I can still hear Jeff's non-injured, non-running breathing in my head.

See, I don't see many people playing as Jeff when I'm the killer, so I can't comment on his breathing. I just know that in this particular lobby it was only the Meg I could hear breathing, the other survivors seemed silent.

Meg is loud but I feel like Jane is even louder. They have definitely made survivors louder and making extra sounds they didn't have before like the sound when they fall from a certain height, which I think was implemented a few months ago, and they are much louder cleansing totems. Like who makes that much noise taking down a totem? The foot falls are so loud that when I wear a headset I always think I'm being followed but its just my survivors footfalls.

@feechima I’ll have to listen out for Jane when I next encounter her when I’m playing as killer. I feel like nobody ever plays her anymore, so it’s so rare for her to be in my lobby. I actually like the new survivors fall sounds. They make me laugh. 😂

I feel like the loudest survivor might be jeff?? Unless thats only when he is injured. I can't be too sure, since people usually don't ever play as him. However, I switch my main between Nea and Meg and yes- i agree. Meg is pretty loud when she's just crouching. Or any action really. She's also probably the loudest survivor when she's hooked, it's crazy. I feel bad for those Meg Mains xDD

Jeff is louder than a 32m terror radius..

Survivor seems to have different volumes when it comes to breathing and engine sounds.
Males
Ace and Tapp probably have the most quiet injured sounds.
Jake and Quentin end up whining like tortured whales
Females
Honestly I think probably Kate had the quietest injured sound out of the females.
Jane and Min you have to go out of your way not to hear them

She’s just loud. Meg is the athlete too, like why is she’s so out of breath all time? It’s crazy.

Meg's always been loud. One of the reason I don't use her.
Well the direction BHVR is taking the game is definitely making survivors less stealthy. Meanwhile killers are being made more stealthy.
It's a very weird direction to take the game to be honest.

Some survivor grunt and breath louder than others. Jeff and ash are the worst of all i think, Kate is the best overall.
