Steps to Reproduce

3. hit and put a survivor into the dying state by any means or hook them
4. Observe the lack of environmental audio decay and reverb compared to the upper floor and pre-8.0.0 versions.

Explanation

Roughly since the 8.0.0 patch, the acoustic reverbs on the lower floor of The Gideon Meat Plant have become significantly weak or non-existent. The environment lacks the characteristic echoing and occlusion that previously defined its indoor atmosphere.
Only the the bottom floor of the map is affected but it indirectly also weakens the intensity of the upper floors acoustics as a result as well.
