Dead By Daylight: Quietest Survivors
Staying quiet is crucial in Dead by Daylight, and thankfully there are some survivors who are naturally stealthy, like these great selections
Though players have access to all sorts of useful perks that can help them stay stealthy and avoid the Killer’s attention, such as Iron Will, some Survivors are so loud that playing them is almost a detriment to the player’s gameplay. They’re much easier to track down, and can often give away the player’s hiding spots. For players wanting to stay as stealthy as possible, they should try to avoid playing as these loud Survivors whenever possible.

Feng Min
Spark Of Madness
Given that she is a pro gamer in the lore and has access to the largest number of cosmetics among all Survivors, Feng Min is one of the most popular Survivor choices. Odds are that players will have at least one in each of their lobbies. But those who do play her will find there is one major drawback to playing this fashionable character.
Feng Min also happens to be the loudest, with her shrill screams piercing ears when she is hit by the Killer. The noise doesn’t stop there either, as her pained cries continue while she is injured, making stealth impossible unless she is at full health.

Rebecca Chambers
Resident Evil: Project W
Resident Evil had not one but two crossovers with Dead by Daylight, adding a collection of protagonists from across the series, and two of the most infamous antagonists: Nemesis and Wesker. Rebecca Chambers arrived with the latter.

Resident Evil: Best Female Characters, Ranked
The Resident Evil franchise utilizes both male and female characters accordingly. However, which female characters in the series stand out the most?
One of the major S.T.A.R.S. members, Rebecca is the team medic, and because she is so used to healing, maybe she’s not as used to suffering injuries herself. This could explain why she is so loud after incurring a hit from the Killer, as her grunts of pain are definitely a dead giveaway for any nearby Killer who only needs to follow the noises to find the nearby Rebecca player.

Yun-Jin Lee
All-Kill
Introduced in the All-Kill chapter alongside the Trickster, Yun-Jin Lee is a tough-as-nails music producer intent on making her latest protege a success, even though his increasingly disturbing music draws suspicion.
That said, Yun-Jin Lee is just as capable of drawing suspicion, as she is very loud when enduring bloodshed and pain in the trials. Not only that, Yun-Jin’s scream when impaled by a hook is one of the most shrill and piercing sounds in the game, ensuring that no other Survivors can possibly miss the fact that the Killer has gotten one step closer to sacrificing her. At least there are no excuses for her teammates to not attempt a rescue.

Laurie Strode
Halloween
Laurie Strode is one of the most famous final girls of all time, having survived numerous attempts on her life at the hands of Michael Myers, even in her later years when she was not as nimble as she once was. Those who have seen Halloween might also remember that her fights for her life were not very quiet, as they were fraught with screams and gasps of terror.
Well, not much has changed in her iteration within Dead by Daylight. Like most other loud Survivors, her injured cries are dead giveaways of her location, but she is also quite noisy when healthy. Vaulting, running, or any other action draws some slight noises out of Laurie which attentive Killers can pick up on.

Jeff Johansen
Darkness Among Us
Jeff Johansen is the Survivor counterpart to Legion, a collection of four masked Killers who were once ordinary students preparing for or intentionally avoiding college. Instead, they found themselves in the fog, alongside Jeff.
A metalhead, Jeff is anything but subtle, with most of his attire matching his interests, and his breathing and grunts of pain are some of the loudest in the game. For players who want to play as Jeff, they might want to employ some of the perks designed around stealth, such as Iron Will.

Meg Thomas
Base Game
As one of the original quartet of Survivors, all players instantly gain access to Meg Thomas when they boot up the game. Meg does indeed have some pretty useful perks, such as Sprint Burst and Adrenaline, which are great for newcomers to Dead by Daylight.

Dead by Daylight: Best General Survivor Perks, Ranked
These General Survivor Perks in Dead by Daylight might just provide players with the bonuses they need to escape the killer and live.
However, one major drawback is that Meg is one of the loudest Survivors in the game. Despite being an apparent athlete, her breathing is definitely over the top, as though just jogging for five seconds is pushing her lungs to capacity.
2
Ashley J. Williams
Ash Vs Evil Dead
Even before his time in the trials, Ash was used to fighting for his life against the dangerous and malicious deadites in the Evil Dead movies franchise and TV show. Yet, he still seems to meet his match against the Killers in Dead by Daylight.
Even when not injured, Ash still makes a lot of noise when performing actions such as running or repairing generators, which can be just as attention-grabbing as other injured Survivors. It is a hefty price to pay for playing such an iconic horror character.

William “Bill” Overbeck
Left Behind
As one of the veteran survivors from Left 4 Dead, Bill’s inclusion in Dead by Daylight was as welcome as it was surprising, though one thing players couldn’t have been prepared for was just how ungodly loud he can be.
Bill sounds as though he trying to be a competitor for the loudest Survivor in Dead by Daylight, as he hacks and coughs his way through each trial, especially when injured. Smoker’s lungs definitely betray any Bill player, as it very much telegraphs his exact position to the Killer, even when they are not overly close to the Survivor. At least his lungs don’t stop him from running for his life when the Killer inevitably tracks him down.
