Can enemies hear you switch weapon?

[Gaming Gamer]

I'm that one player that like to switch weapon repeatedly and sometimes my teammate who is spectating me would say "You do know that the enemy can hear you switching weapon right?".
Is there a new update that changes some sound to be a global thing? or does no one knows that weapon switch sound cannot be heard?

I'm just confused to whether or not these people know that these sound can't be heard or there was an update

I am not sure if this makes me hear others swapping weapons. I type something that helps me hear enemies better and after that I can now hear enemies swapping. But I am not really sure if i can hear them swapping without typing the console

That is wrong. Enemies cannot hear weapon switching, or switching to knife or switching/opening to nades. But enemies can hear the sound of the nade flying through air after it's thrown.

That’s if they picked up a gun. The sound they could hear would be the gun dropping to the ground from, for example, dropping an AWP for an AK, not the switching between knife and gun.

I went local with bots and I've got good enough headphones and you still cannot hear enemies switching weapons or switching to knife.
