Zombie detection

More a question for a dev, but others who have gleaned the answers or tested can also weigh in of course:

1. It seems that zombies go toward noise notifications like fast vaults and fast locker entrikes/exits. Do they also go toward notifications from perks like Tinkerer, Spies, Eruption and so on? I'm especially interested in knowing if Spies gets their attention.
2. What else does (or does not) get their attention? Have people found that they are drawn by other things I haven't mentioned?

I think they get alerted to survivors grunts of pain, failed skill checks, and Red Herring.

I'm not sure about Diversion.

Apparently not when I can work on a generator directly next to a zombie. 😝

I keep hearing this but in the tons of nemmy games I've played I have yet to see it. Do they just get stuck? I never have this problem. My zombies are always on the ######### job. Maybe because I only run zombie range and speed addons?

I believe it's something to do with the AI picking between survivors and it just gets caught in a thinking loop, wasting time doing nothing.
