Jumping and landing make noise that nearby enemies can hear

In a game with sleeping predators and guards, a leap on gravel should be a mistake and a hop on moss a safe choice. The pitfalls are noise that ignores how hard you land, sneaking that silences everything, and walls that do not matter. Here is how to turn a jump into a hearing radius.

Why this works

Sound in the real world grows with force, depends on what is struck, and fades through walls. Giving a jump a hearing distance built from those same three things makes stealth readable: players can predict what is quiet and plan their route.

When not to use it

Do not use it in a fast action game, where players cannot slow down to listen to the ground and hidden noise rules would feel unfair. There, tell the player in advance which areas are guarded and keep the rules simple.
