fcolley3 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I was recently looting and in an upstairs bedroom when I heard an alarm go off. I know that zoms are very keen at hearing and when in this kind of situation, I stop what I'm doing and quickly find a situation where I can't be seen through a window, sit on the ground and wait for a while. I don't walk around, move things through inventory, and I try and make no noise at all. After a bit however, I start getting bored and am forced to open the inventory and find a book. I can hear my survivor thumbing over the words and turning pages. I'm wondering if anyone knows if the zombies can hear you reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoogieMan Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I think they just sometimes know you're there, or are allowed to thump on destructibles if you're nearby. Them thumping on stuff while I am reading is fairly common for me, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modin Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 They can't hear you reading or moving items around or anything. They can't hear you eating, drinking, using a faucet, opening a window/door. Not even sure they can hear a washer or dryer. All I know that they hear: Jogging/sprinting Breaking glass/interacting with broken glass Cars Guns Unhanded or weapon swings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless that was recently fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieHunter Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 No what generally happens is - the game loads you as center of the universe. So when Zombies move around you have to keep in mind you are generally the center. If they end up hitting any destructible surface as they are pathing around they will start hitting it for a bit. Previously it was much worse where they will always keep hitting it until it breaks - now they changed it a little at least where they get bored after like 30s and may leave.

amcoops Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Can they smell blood on you? I learned fairly recently that excess blood attracts zombies so could that include bloodied clothes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modin Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Blood does not attract zombies. Sight, sound, and turning lights on (at night, using sound mechanics... it's weird). That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
