I'd assume that's why the change was made and 96m is a huge range. I think it won't really be that much of an issue, cause most of the time gens are that close to you already.
The problem is that the sound notification only triggers the first time now, and that the range is awful at lower ranks. That, and the fact that the lingering aura reading for gens doesn't get better with perk rank.
The reason it's worse on lower ranks is so you upgrade the perk - that's the intention of tiers. Same with how Balanced Landing was changed so people have the motivation to level up the tier.
About the noise - I guess that's personal preference for people, as the alarm noises in DBD tend to annoy me, I rely more on the visual part as a example. E.g. for me this is not a bad change, but it might be a bad change for others.
