No. It's all the same. All differences between the levels of difficulty are player-related, ie. no crosshair, no third person, no blue dot survivor icons on the map. Most of these depend on server settings rather than actual difficulty though, mind you. You can come across regular servers with no crosshair and no blue dots.

Though after the latest upgrade the zombies seem more alert than before. How can I be in darkness, surrounded by trees, crawling on my belly and suddenly aggro up to a dozen or so zombies? Mad. Guess I just have to run faster. ;)

They can see much better, there is a random chance of them seeing you from further than before, so try to stay out of their line of sight.

If you get groups running after you, then you most likely made a loud noise.

Food and drink seem to be harder to find in small town/sheds.
