What is a "Sound Bug"?

[Almea]

I see them in some levels, they're hackables with a daemon on them but I can't figure out what they do x.x

[FatalCharm]

They detect noise/sound. If you go near them, they'll 'hear' your footsteps.

[Qfasa]

If you run near them they will start alarm but you can walk safely.

[Shirsh]

you may hack them for sprint through facility undetected when there's only drones around and no one can hear you
Accurate doze of running could be very efficient and save time and lives. Those "+4mp" or whatever in exchange of noise may not looks so great at first, but you definetely should try it if not yet)
also, when some noisy guard walking nearby hacked bugs, it's reveal footsteps markers for you (which could be useful information when it's not enough visual info but angry guards and irritated enforcers on hunt everywhere)

[Almea]

What's the radius for them detecting your running?

[Shirsh]

it have default "hasHearing" trait, probably it the same radius like for everyone else with "hasHearing", your agents for example (I'm too lazy to dig in game files for precise numbers)

[obliviondoll]

Not 100% sure, but relatively sure it's 5 tiles.

So the noise running makes is about 5 tiles around your agent?

[obliviondoll]

Yeah.

[Almea]

Is that like a 5x5 box or the furthest your agent could move in 5 tiles?

[obliviondoll]

It's 5 tiles sraight out from your agent, presumably with the same calculation used for movement when moving off from straight lines. Not 100% sure on that though.

[Shirsh]

Probably when agent run it creates 5x5 noise on every tile/step
