Is heavy armor noisier?

... or is it just me hearing things?

I know you get noiser with more weight you carry in general, but I wonder if heavy armor alone makes you move with more noise by itself. If not - it should, in my opinion.

Char weight affects step sound noise level according to the current weight system introduced at spring update last year. Heavier armor - > louder steps should be.

Yeah, and actually not only steps - any kind of movement in my opinion, also rotation, aiming etc. when player is stationary. Not hard to imagine a Zabralo making more noise when you do any kind of movement as opposed to naked character.

Only weight affects your volume once you get any encumbered afflictions. Despite the Zabralo reducing movement speed 42%, it doesn't apply to sprinting at all.
