SOUND WHO ?

Respawn, we need to talk. I understand that you changed your developer team, like 10 times so far. Can we please try 11? You made a statement that these new sound changes will be something revoluti...

Well, I forgot to mention that I used Survey Beacon to check if anyone was around me before I pushed to res my teammates (there was no one even close to me).
Also, I want to add that I have over 7,000 hours in-game, and this isn't my first FPS game.
I have excellent game awareness, which is my strongest trait, because my movement is meh and my aim is just slightly above average.
Additionally, I forgot to mention that I have a SPL Crimson 3 sound card, and I use Beyerdynamic DT 900 PRO X headphones, which have a very well-balanced sound profile. I don't have a sound issue in other FPS games.

Ignoring hardware flex :) I can only say what I said before - probably you were split / alone and team with wallhack just went after you with trident (haven't actually checked how fast it moves now but in 10 just by running you can cover 100m, if you have path or ash or octane even more...trident I would assume easily covers more than scan radius in 10 second which might have been 15 or 20 :P ).
So nothing to odd here just bad timing + typical experience provided by hackers while soloqing.
E.g. More annoying is part where you are fighting team that you know pretty much precise location but then suddenly horizon goes out of sight, uses gravity lift, falls behind you and you get 99 PK shot in the back which you see or hear only in your death feed :)

  I think ppl know the sound is broken completely bc the same thing happened to me trident pushed no sound and insta knocked. Not to mention when I use trident even when they added the shield thing I got on trident and insta 1 clipped even tho im in the trident with the new shield😭 so idk if it’s cheating or what but so many cheaters where even good players look like they’re cheating but others make it so obvious even if they heard my footsteps it’s blatant somebody’s cheating. Idk wtf they did to the game but it’s unplayable and you would think maybe they’d try to fix these issues but no **bleep** the fan base who has been playing since day 1

    From my limited <400 game experience this season regarding tridents:
    I had no issues really with the old version, never used them much (mostly on Storm point really), yet I have no major issue with current version yet not fully explored e.g. I have no idea what shield are you talking about.
    sound issue that mainly bothered me = it almost felt like advantage to take trident vs previously exact opposite (tell whole lobby where you are when using one) given enemies can't really hear well it approaching and that was more ridiculous: driving it seemingly produced less sound vs when you jumped it.
    I did have a few chances to shoot at teams driving trident - in my experience even when focusing it with my teammate or whole team we still failed to kill them vs previously we easily knock someone down or force people to abandon it instantly...how you get 1clipped I can only wonder because if I understood correctly now trident takes more damage and explodes? / stops working vs you actually dying first and trident remaining intact
    
    Overall though I did not feel that audio would have become worse. I heard that they promised some sort of in game EQ so you could finetune your sound profile but clearly at least in my game it was not present, matter of future seasons I guess... So I am glad it is not as bad as when e-district was released and I stopped playing because I just could not understand what I am hearing and from where (up / down, my team or enemies shooting, etc.), from those times still G7 and few other guns for me create echo when I shoot the gun so for me it sounds like someone else is shooting at me ... annoying af but I already got used to it :D and skipped playing G7 as much as I could despite it being really valuable these past 2 seasons.
