The Loud Noise Notifications are an integral core Game Mechanic in Dead by DaylightIconHelp DBDlogoIconHelp DBDlogoIconHelp DBDlogo.


Overview[]

Loud Noise Notifications are used to alert the Killer to a Survivor rushing (i.e. holding down the Sprint button) while performing interactions with certain Props or failing Skill Checks.

Loud Noise Notifications have a comparatively large range and allow the Killer to even locate Survivors who are reasonably beyond the Killer's Terror Radius and careless with their interactions.

In rare situations, the mechanic is also used for Survivors to inform them of the location of a side-objective (e.g. the correct TV for their Cursed Tape).


Notification[]

A generic Loud Noise Notification is displayed on the Player's screen as a black bubble with red and orange accents within (mimicking the visuals of an explosion) and an explosion-like sound cue is played.

Some special Loud Noise Notifications replace the explosion visuals within the black bubble with a stylised 2D version of the Prop that the interaction was triggered on (e.g. Generators for TinkererIconPerks tinkererIconPerks tinkererIconPerks tinkerer, Crows for Spies from the ShadowsIconPerks spiesFromTheShadowsIconPerks spiesFromTheShadowsIconPerks spiesFromTheShadows) or the silhouette of a Survivor (this last one is also known as an Aura-Flare-up and occurs when a Survivor screams and reveals their location).

If the location of the Loud Noise Notification is off-screen, its direction will be indicated by red arrows pointing towards it, telling the Players where to look for the black bubble.


Ranges[]

The range at which a Loud Noise Notification can be heard and seen depends on the type.
Most Loud Noise Notifications have a range that considerably exceed the average Terror Radius, with some essential ones even being unlimited.

If the Player intended to receive the Loud Noise Notification is outside of its range (assuming it has a range-limit), they will not be notified.

Repeatedly triggered Loud Noise Notifications have a buffer between them of 1 second.

Trivia[]

  • Loud Noise Notifications that have an alleged unlimited range are actually capped at 1E+09 centimetres, which is equivalent to 10,000 km, a bit less than the diameter of the Earth.
  • Before ChestsIconHelp chestsIconHelp chestsIconHelp chests were reworked and had to be searched instead of being unlocked, Survivors had two animations for closing the Chest lid when interrupting the Search action, a slow and a fast one.
    • The fast animation could be triggered by holding the Sprint button and would cause Survivors to quickly slam the lid shut, which triggered Loud Noise Notification.
