Found this on the Steam forums:

It could be fake, but it seems reasonable to me.

Hi John.

Sorry, getting a bit behind on the email here.

- Backstabs did change. The change was one that fixed a longstanding bug that resulted in pure unadulterated facestabs when lag got involved. We’re trying to figure out how to re-add your ability to get air/stair stabs without re-adding the facestabs.

- The decloaking sound was deliberately increased for all versions of the cloak. This was designed to reward intelligent use of uncloaking & disguise (i.e. decloak further from your target, or use nearby noises to cover your decloak sound).


Robin.

Still it seems slightly unreasonable for them to increase the cloak sounds if they really have done. Most skilled players can already tell if there is a spy around and will frequently look around them to check their surroundings. No point in making the audio cue for it louder as well.

I understand why they have done it. I have been working around it, doing what the email says in fact, trying to use the cloak even more intelligently. It is just a bit harder.

I think its ok to have the louder sound now that the spy is so much more fool proof than it used to be.
