@Midnight9746YES. Not just an icon, but an audible notification too. Just like the bleep that occurs from bloodhound and crypto drone scans, and the minor audio from being scanned by heartbeat sensor.
Although on Kings Canyon I get confused often as one of the ambience noises there is the same thing as the heartbeat audio, so I think I'm getting scanned when I'm actually not.

- Zulkiers10 months agoSeasoned Ace@Midnight9746 Do you know what I mean by the heartbeat scan audio, when being scanned by it?
Does kings canyon ever baffle you like that? Do you even know what I mean by it's ambience?
I hope so... I hope I'm not the only one who's noticed. The audio is relatively quiet.- Midnight974610 months agoHero+
@Zulkiers Yes I do, it sounds like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTgFzMqYzIY
Kings Canyon also does have a lot of ambiance, but its not the only one. All the maps have some form of ambiance that often is too much for the sound engine, (and the new E-District map is no exception). There's a lot of sound coming from the jump pads, (the green square launchers that will throw you upwards), the wind hitting the buildings, etc.
For me, I often would mistake the ambiance for footstep audio and my randoms would look at me like I'm losing my mind when I ping "enemy here" behind us. 9 times out of 10, I'd focus in on the sound because the one time when I don't, its another team. However, I can understand how the heartbeat can sound like the wind or parts of the map making sounds, (like machinery).
I don't think you're the only one who's having issues with the audio being quiet. The audio engine as a whole needs a lot of work. However, I think that would require the game to be developed on a new game engine as recently, Respawn had put out a patch for the footstep audio, but I don't think its working as intended. For me, footsteps have gotten more quiet and yet somehow teammates are sounding like a titan falling out of the sky with each step. If only teammates had the silent footsteps and the enemies were louder.
