Stridor needs to be audible to Survivors again
Basically the title.
Since the heal nerf I am using IW again. So good so far, but it happened to me multiple times now that the killer "somehow" knew where I was although I am very quiet with IW and most killers will not hear me if I am close. If the killer has Stridor they will hear you, if you are near. That is what happened to me, but I didn't know about the perk because the effect was removed a while ago from the survivor's side for some reason. (Only the killer can hear the difference)
Please return the increase the volume for survivors as well so this does not happen. Thanks.

Ah yes, because why should the Killer have perks Survivors need to ever think about?
Just give them all audio clues so Survivors are never caught off guard. Ever.
I believe you can hear you are louder than normal.
They removed that some time ago for some weird reason.
It was like since Nurse came out and was changed maybe a year ago for a reason I do not know. This is not to make killers "bad" or survivors having it "easy". It's about fairness. Now I don't know why the killer keeps finding me because I have no feedback anymore. Other information perks like Nowhere To Hide, BBQ, Discordance etc can be found out because they have a trigger (kicking a Gen, being far from the hook, co-op on a Gen), whereas Stridor has not. You used to hear you being louder, but they removed that from the survivor's pov. Now you could basically guess if the killer has Stridor, has Crows or is cheating until the end. And even then you would need to wait until you can say for sure.
That's why I want the feedback back. I want to know if I can go for flashy saves while being injured or not. I want to know if the killer would hear me and that I should probably heal etc...
Not to make it harder for killer or easier for survivor.

That would literally make it easier for you, by taking out the guesswork in any actions you do.
The survivor alert for Stridor was removed so that BHVR could call the Stridor rework a "buff", even though it was a super big nerf for Stridor to work multiplicative instead of additive, because Stridor used to be able to counter -100% survivor noise perks.
.....so if you want the survivor Stridor alert back, then Stridor should get its additive feature back, so it can counter -100% survivor noise perks.
It's a super niche perk and isn't even that good. It really does not need to show itself to survivors.
