A group of friends have started to play the game recently and I made this small list for them, and then I realized maybe it could help other people that are new to the game as well, so I decided to post it here.
Note: Most of these sounds are picked up from the sound hearing distance, which is that circle that forms around your minimap pointer when you run/jump.
ENEMY CAN HEAR YOU | ENEMY CAN NOT HEAR YOU |
---|---|
Firing weapons | - |
Planting / Defusing Spike (*1) | - |
Running (NO SHIFT) | Walking (+SHIFT) |
Climbing / Sliding Rope (NO SHIFT) | Climbing / Sliding Rope (+SHIFT) |
Jumping / Landing | Jumping to a higher plane (+SHIFT) |
Reloading Weapon | Scoping in with your Weapon (*2) |
Droping Weapon/Spike (*3) | Picking up Weapon/Spike |
Using Abilities (*4) | Swaping between Weapons/Abilities (*5) |
Picking up Ultimate Orbs | - |
Using your Spray | Using team comms (in-game team calls) |
Swinging your Knife | - |
- (*1) Sound happens at the START of plant/defuse. Planting/defusing progress is silent. Also there is a different sound on a slightly higher pitch when spike is half-way defused and they start defusing again.
- (*2) Some weapons don't have scoping function and some have "alternate fire" on right click instead (Classic & Bucky).
- (*3) If you have a weapon equipped and you pick one from the ground, you will drop your current one. Also you can drop weapons or spike silently to a teammate if you're close enough and it doesn't hit the ground.
- (*4) Some abilities leave a remanent sound over time, like Sage's heal, Phoenix's fire or Jett floating. Some are also heard while placing them like Killjoy's nanobots. Also Ultimates emit a global "catch phrase" that let's your enemies know who used it.
- (*5) This is also know as "pulling out" a weapon or ability.
And here are some agent specific interactions:
AGENT SPECIFICS SOUNDS | Can enemy hear it? |
---|---|
Viper picking up her poison cloud | NO |
Cypher camera activation / deaactivation | YES |
Cypher picking up any of this abilities | YES |
I hope this helps anyone.
EDIT: Thank you everyone for your feeedback, reports and suggestions. ♥

Is movement more important than aim ?
I don't mean like movment >> aim but most players focus on aim and don't care about movment but there is something like inaccuracy if you slightly move so what good is aim then if you can't stop immediately.
