dead by daylight survivor volumes tier list (all sounds)



Read more Dead by Daylight ➜ https://deadbydaylight.mgn.gg

this has been a wee passion project for the past month and ive finally finished it after 35 hours of recording and editing spread over a month and a half almost (timestamps for each character at the end of the description)

this video showcases every sound a survivor makes that a spirit (and u as surv) need to be wary of (except fall screams bc thats obvious and pointless to record). that includes:
breathing (important), panting (least important), interactions (can sometimes blend in but the volumes can work either way in the survs favour), hit sounds (only important for a few survs with long hit sounds), and injuries (very important), with a few clips of me trying to track them all in 1v1s so u can hear just what youre looking out for and how loud they are in chase.

this list is as objective as i can make it, recorded and tested with no EQ (i hate them anyways). the format does change SLIGHTLY overtime but for the most part eventually each one is tested with double duration for the fullest length of sounds. some places could defo b swapped but as it stands this is my personal rating, and i cant see many places wavering in other ppls tier lists if they do the same test (also sorry, the ones at the start include my mic a little and u can hear my keyboard presses but theyre not too loud over the recordings and newer videos dont have them at all)

  1. Been waiting for someone to release something like this, figured Ada would be at the top. Funny how you don’t realise how loud/quiet some survs are until you play them 😂

  2. Wow this is really impressive. No idea how I found this video but thank you! I've wondered about this topic for a while now and this is very well done.

    Also as a Cybil main it hurts so bad to see her at start being exposed in 4K for being loud as hell. You should hear her cough, it's terrible. Plague can pinpoint her location from Mars.

  3. This is actually so cool to see! I always worried about loud grunts and general sounds that a survivor could make as some were better off than others, but seeing how effectively each survivor is quiet or loud in specific ways was cool to watch. Showing how silencing perks like Iron Will and Light-Footed are better off on quieter characters, also makes me rethink some of my perk loadout selections. Funny enough, I think the only way a Feng can ever be quiet is if you run No Mither and Iron Will on her for the 75% breathing reduction stacked on top of each other.

  4. unrelated question but when you hit a survivor and then they run in a straight line and then you use your power do you reach the survivor faster using her yellow speed add on or the yellow charge add on?

  5. As a fellow Spirit main, I really appreciate your effort to provide this amazing resource. Also, I'm glad my struggles are justified with Ada being at the top; I find her so difficult to track when the Survivor is familiar with how to play vs Spirit.

  6. Amazing vid! Been looking for an explanation for the most recent survivors since the last time someone did one was like a year ago. Do you think a comparison on survivors visual stealth could be made in a future video? Perhaps combined with auditory stealth at the end.

  7. i would have kept something like this private to be honest…

    was testing some of the addons yesterday and found out that running double addons like on executioner isnt really worth it, cd reduction addons are most impactful, uploaded it too

  8. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks feng is insanely loud, I can’t play her cause her injured “NNG” noise is so high pitched and annoying to me, hate listening to it
