Did the recent patch fix zombies hearing gunshots?

I think so...

They do. Maybe a little less in your case, cause it's night?

Day Z, the game where getting on a bike will get you shot. But really, nice trap, even if I don't approve of that game style

Yea they are definately hearing gunshots now. Fired a m1014 on a sanctuary just a min ago. The result was 40 dead zombies and me out of ammo :)

It wasn't a trap. Here is a little back story. Earlier in the day the boys and I were footing it around looking for crash sites. Found one and while we were looking for loot, we hear a shot, we all sprint away from the gun fire and flank the area we think it came from. Upon returning to the sound of the shot, I find a tent... at the same time some wild man runs through some trees, sees me and sprints back into the bushes.

I continue further into the vegetation and find a trove of tents. Wild man appears again and I fire a few bursts from an M16 into him, he keeps running. He nears the next person on our FoF and they light him up. Wild man DC's. We abandoned the tents fearing he was just a camp guard and decide to come back later.

An hour or so goes by. We meet up and head back to the tents, this time, on our approach I hear another shot zip past our point man. I crouch, turn 90 degrees and see two individuals running back and forth through the trees. I fire, Wild man drops dead. His buddy takes off running away from the tents. We sweep the area and find no other survivors. As I am scoping the body and scanning the trees in my LoS, I hear DMR fire directly next to me, and turn just in time to see this day light ninja drawing down on me. He kills me :(. Unfortunatly for him, my LMG carrying buddy had a clear field of view on me and when my assailant went to loot my body, was introduced to a box of lead.

So of the three individuals associated with this spot, two were killed. My group moves away towards Berezino(shown at the beginning of the video). I meet them along the way, get some supplies and head back to HQ. Everyone logs.

I decide to head back to the tents for some excitement. Found the tents have been restocked(wtf?) with SVD ammo and some other odds and ends. Then I see a flash light sweep to my left. I move into some trees and thats when I spot the bush wookie and bus driver messing with the bus. Neither of these players were involved in the fire fight earlier in the day, HOWEVER, they were operating in a zone I considered hot, being less than 50 meters from a massive tent site.

I did not fire on the bus not wanting to give away my position anymore than I already did with the first shot, just incase there was another person lurking about on foot.
