It doesn’t make too much sense that the merc is shouting out “ARMING THE C4” so loud and clear that every defender can hear it.
The team-mates don’t need it, a real human wouldn’t do it, so the merc shouldn’t yell it out like that either.
It has botched so many C4 plantings for me, really annoying.
The audio clip only goes to your teammates AFAIK.
You do hear the bipping of the code when they are arming.
Enemies can’t hear your team’s merc chatter, but they can hear the button presses/beeping of c4 planting.

For obvious reasons.
Which is why a smart player waits until there is gun fire nearby or until everyone has passed before planting…
I was the only person still up on, so I put a ammo bag on top of the generator next the locked door on that trainyard map, and waited until my team started back towards to blocker carriage before I planted.
Had I planted alone, their whole team would have heard my ass back there. -_-
