Skulk fall noise while holding shift

I am sure this is a known bug, but I could not find a topic about this.

Essentially, if you are sneaking around as a skulk while holding shift, you always make a noise when you fall from a surface and hit another. You can't hear it yourself, but every player around you can. I am not sure if the bug is in that the player can't hear the fall noise, or that there is a noise to begin with. It seems reasonable to me that if you fall from a surface while holding shift and hit the other surface while still holding shift, no sound should be played.

Figuring out this bug still exists explains so much about my failed sneak attempts. "How did he know I was there?!"

Go ahead and get a buddy to try it out. Have him fall from the ceiling to the floor while holding shift. You'll hear the fall noise, but he won't.

    I didn't realise you couldn't hear when you dropped off a roof while holding shift...I swear I can.

    It was decided not to spend time fixing this, since all movement related changes were being made in the balance test mod.. Where this bug and the mountain goat marine bug have been naturally fixed by the new system.
