Natural Noise?

Living in Firehouse, There is a large Generator outside. Does the noise it make attract Zombies?
Should I destroy it for peace and quiet? or does it matter?

Same with Fire Drums as well? Does that heat add to my heat?
 
Nothing in the world generates heat passively, nor attracts zeds in general. Even something like torches, the ones you place can call screamers, but the ones already in there don't.

So, feel free to destroy, but it's not a threat, just an annoying audio.
 
If you are going to destroy it disassemble it you will get more parts that way.
Iirc, those things have massive health and very little in the way of parts.. probably more efficient to destroy the supporting block(s) and spend the rest of the time wrenching something else. :) Depending on where it sits ofc.

Well, now I know. :I

Has traders generating heat changed? I haven't noticed a lot of zombies hanging out there in a long time, but they used to gather around the trader in early 1.x.

I can't remember seeing screamers at traders, ever. Not saying it hasn't happened, something like a buggy burning barrel or whatnot. But heat doesn't attract "zombies", it summons screamers. I assume you would have said screamers, if you meant screamers? Normal zeds just hang around there. Sometimes it feels the density is higher near a trader, there's always someone there, but I think that's just random, or a mental issue - noticing them more as they might become an unexpected issue in a few seconds.

You're right. I wasn't thinking. Yeah, heat doesn't attract regular zombies. Not sure why they congregated around traders so much in early 1.x. You could see them standing on each other's heads trying to get over the fence (and sometimes managed it) even when no one had been in the trader in a long time. But I haven't seen that in a long time. Now, you will usually see a couple walking along the walls and that is all.
