Silence Falls (Critters don't like Zeds)

Hey all, hope you all had a merry Christmas and all that.

I'm pretty sure I saw something about this relating to gunshots but not with Zombies.

 

The Zombie Survival Handbook states that animals in general can't stand zombies and that if you're in a woodland and suddenly everything goes quiet, it's probably a hint that a zombie is close.

 

My suggestion, in addition to having bird/woodland critter sounds stop momentarily after a loud gunshot, is that animal sounds in forests wood cease when a zombie is within a certain radius of the sound's origin.

 

For Park Ranger players and those out in the woods, this could be quite a handy indicator of when to stop chopping wood/ checking traps and to get yourself ready for combat. It also requires concentration, which prevents it from being too much of a giveaway.

 

What y'all think?

interesting idea, you would still need to be aware of the sounds around you so, I don't think I would see this as cheating.
