I think slow zombies make more sense.

I will forever be annoyed by movies or TV shows where the characters have realistic noise levels and you can hear the loud leaves shuffle and crunch in the Autumn forest...
But if a zombie is walking in said forest, it must be hoovering over the ground because they never make a fucking sound.
Even worse when they point out that the zombies will hear them but somehow they cannot hear the same zombies moving in the same minefield of noises.
Double so because the vast majority of slow zombies are also the "groaning and moaning" kind, but suddenly can just cease that noise to set up an ambush. Despite being shown to be otherwise braindead and acting on reflex or some other low form of thought, they can suddenly manage that.
Oh God you reminded me of a Walking Dead episode where there is a zombie outbreak in a crowded, silent building at night and, I shit you not, a zombie FALLING DOWN THE STAIRS didn't bother a single living meatbag.
In World War Z there's a zombie who is constantly bumping into a wall and it doesn't make one zombie go check on the noise. But someone bumps into a door and the zombies come running. How did they know a person made that sound?
And if you disguize yourself as a zombie, the zombies can't hear you either. You can even speak next to them. But not scream.
Funny how that works.
Things like that are why I can't take zombies seriously as a horror genre. It truly only works by lobotomizing people beyond any form of reasonability.
Like slashers also are filled with retarded people, but Jason or Michael Myers are still fucking scary and capable of killing you even if you aren't retarded, whereas zombies (after day 1 when people don't understand the threat) only seem to manage through plot armor.
