The sounds that were silents were survivor's breathing and walking sounds.
This happens in ANY map at any time
It happened to me today and yesterday around 4 pm
Unfortunately i do not have any clips but this happens every time.
PS4
survivors when downed (totally silent).
happens on every map.
Don't have a clip, unfortunately.
it happened yesterday, June 26 around 10:00 PM in my area (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia).
Platform: PC
I have no logs, this happened a bit ago, but it's kind of big and weird.
DWIGHT makes absolutely no noise when being vomited on by the plague.
Only Dwight, we tested it in KYF and everything. It's... odd.
I'm hoping with the information you're requesting from the Community you can see details about the match on your end and that's why we don't need to provide what Perks were used or further details.
Thank you for taking a look into this bug. Maybe this will change the tune to: "99 little bugs in the game, 99 little bugs. Take one down, patch it around , 98 bugs in the game!"
**** I managed to record my encounters with silent survivors ****
please note:
In the 2nd video, the survivor's grunts of pain were audible at first. However after becoming the Obsession (Decisive Strike) he became totally silent. It appears to me that the Obsession is bugged without a doubt... but nevertheless there's still a bug for survivors in the dying state, regardless if they're the obsession or not.
I wrote about this problem 2 months ago and provided evidence in the form of a survivor
They confirmed it but didn't correct it
here is this post

The Survivors eventually started goofing around with me near the 75% mark of the match. I sent one a message to explain the plethora of bugs I was experiencing and they helped me test to see how many sounds were broken. When the match ended and I got to confirm just how few sounds ANY of the Survivors were making without any sound related perks on all 4 of them; I was beyond fuming and immediately shut down my PS4. It was my first game after having just power-cycled my PS4 due to frame drops I experienced while trying to do the Killer Archive Challenge requiring Beast of Prey. I completed that challenge, power-cycled my PS4 and switched over to the Legion Based Challenge so my perks were: Discordance, Mad Grit, Iron Maiden, and Barbecue & Chili.
I don't exactly remember at what time I "found" the bug, but for me and my friend(s) Dwight, when falling from any height, Makes no sound. He doesn't scream, he just lands completely silent.
Also his hand animations break when picking up toolboxes and such, making Dwight unable to Flashlight save.
The best part about this run in with the Sound Bugs was I was attempting to complete a Daily Ritual for Oni whose power bugged out on me as well in this match; It was already bad enough I couldn't hear the Survivors but losing out on my Power entirely was almost 100% defeating.
I came across A TON of Blood Orbs and attempted to Absorb them. As the final 3 were pulling into my Oni my ability to Absorb bugged out and I was stuck at 99.999% to having my Power Meter full. I was hoping when I hit a healthy Survivor that it would fix itself but it did not; It played the animation that I was slurping up their blood from the hit but I stayed stuck at 99.999% with the Absorb command broken and unable to activate my Rage!
*EDIT* The only sound related Perk in play that game was Iron Will and only 1 Survivor had it equipped. I am including Quick & Quiet in my sound related list by the way since as mentioned above: "2/4 made no Vaulting Sounds."
PS4, hawkins, 7/9/20 around 5:45pm, NJ, injury from basic attack was missing right before end game. I was Yui swf with Jeff against Ghostface. The other two survivors were claudettes and I am sorry but i forgot to screenshot the end screen.
Deathslinger on a map like Lery's where Red Rank Survivors are making absolutely no sound what-so-ever? I guess the Entity said, "Fun shall not be had in my realm!"
I have another example and this time i made sure to get the end screen shot. PS4, around 8pm NJ, swf Yui (me) with Jeff against clown on mother's dwelling. My injured sounds were the only ones missing but only for the duration of this clip. Otherwise all my sounds were present. I lost injury sound after getting smoked and then it returned after being smoked again.
another "no injury sound" example...all other sounds in the trial seemed fine. PS4, solo survivor Steve against Bubba on meat plant..after being hit with the basic attack, 2 times i lost the injured sounds. i regained them after healing myself and being picked up. 7/12/20 around 8:45am NJ
At the time I was watching DbD on Twitch, TrU3Ta1ent was the top streamer with the most viewers. For hours on his stream he was constantly encountering sound bugs. He mentioned that today seemed especially bad for some reason but wasn't sure if it was because he was just noticing it more or it really was happening more.
WoodstockI just recently learned about the Fog Whisperers Program... Apparently most of the streamers I watch on Twitch are a part of that program and they also experience the multitude of Sound Bugs far more regularly with the greater investment into game time. I am hopeful they are reporting all the various Sound Bugs I hear them discuss on stream through the Fog Whisperers Program. Now I understand why TrU3Ta1ent didn't respond here on the forums since he has a more direct line with the developers I suppose.
I've given up on reporting issues but wanted to add one last post to this thread since the Sound Bugs were driving me crazy. Now if you click the above link you'll see game play of just "vibing" where sound really doesn't matter. Who needs to worry about Sound Bugs when you just rock-out the entire game anyway?

What sound(s) was silent: David King not making any noise while injured
The map you were playing on: Haddonfield
The time frame when the error occurred (The date and time you had the issue): the whole 69 seconds, occurred 13 August at 4:26pm ACST
I was playing Pig and the David I was chasing made no sound from the moment I hit him and chased around, when I briefly left and found him again he was making noise, therefore he didn't have Iron Will.

I was playing Jake and got unhooked by Jane, she healed me first but when it finished my character started making injured noises. It stopped once I finished healing her. I had Iron Will Level 3.

Hey there.
Platform: PC
What sound was silent: Meg, on the ground. She made no noise at all, except for the rustling of leaves when moving. My OBS wasn't running so I couldn't get a clip before she'd bleed out. The noises came back when she was picked up. initiating a mori and stopping mid-way didn't restore the sound.
Map: Sanctum of Wrath. I was playing Freddy. This happened on the little staircase to the side of the big, main shrine, with a vault on it. She had just stepped on a blood trap, started the vaulting action and I hit her mid-animation.
Time frame: 16/08/2020, a little bit before 15:00 UTC-3. I'd check the exact timing but the logs look like gibberish to me. I'll upload them anyway.
Thanks for your time.

Silent Sound: Sounds of injury on survivors. When using Off the Record, if I was performing an action at the time in which the 80 seconds were finished, my sounds of injury would be permanently muted until I changed health states. This would not occur if I was not performing an action like repairing a generator at the time of the perk deactivating. It was only when it ended mid way through an action.
Map: The Game.
This bug is back btw
