Zombie footsteps

Am I crazy, or weren't there supposed to be louder zombie footsteps? What happened to that? I still never hear zombies unless they're groaning while hitting something.

I can generally hear them despite hearing loss. The only time I can't hear them is when they're coming up from behind. I think TFP designed it that way intentionally for the sake of "difficulty" and/or surprise attack. There's a mod to reinstate zombie footstep sounds when they're "sneaking" up and outside of the player's first person POV.

Depends, do you play the game with or without a headset? I play it with the Arctis Nova 7p headset and can hear zombie footsteps.
 
~90% of the time I hear footsteps, including from rabbits, chickens and all other animals.
It's that ~10% that zombie make zero sound and it's always from behind.
I also learnt a few months ago that it is in the code for the AI to get extra attack range if they're behind you, which explains why I get hit from ridiculous distances when running away.

I had someone sneak up on me last night in a POI. These guys are stealthy AF inside a POI. I hear them walking outside easily, but in a POI they are ninjas. Sometimes I hear them, and sometimes they make NO NOISE in a POI.

this guy was 100% silent
