Maybe the OP is experiencing something similar.

I just played a game where I was being shot but I could not tell. I died and looked back and I had been getting hit, but I was not being given any worthwhile feedback that I was getting hit. I consider that a major FAIL on PGI's part. You have to let us know if our mech is taking damage . This is fundamental. So basic to gameplay I can't believe I even have to bother writing this post.
When your mech falls down and you go into helicopter view, that's when you've taken too much damage.

Whilst this is true (it appears not to work 100% of times), there have been a number of occasion where i popped out fire and returned to cover thinking i took no return fire only to see my paper doll flash yellow in areas.

Also, of course, shake and such from impacts but not from lasers (lasers don't cause anything other than the indicator.)
So, pay more attention?

So if you've managed from 2012 without noticing the laser impact sounds mayhaps its possible to consider the quality of the other aspects of damage feedback are also lacking somewhat?
I'm partially deaf and even I can pick out the sound of lasers. Also there's no hissing sound at all above 70% heat, there's an alarm that goes off above 80% that sounds like a phone ringing but certainly no hissing.

The fact that you dont know that this shows EVERY time is indication you have much to learn. Look for the red flash directionally as pointed out numerous times in here. What do you want, a "you are taking damage" along with incoming missiles. Too many warnings as it is. Pew pew laser (the meta) doesnt do much to indicate damage the other stuff tends to rock the cockpit. This is realistic...
When I view other people after I die I am shocked how unaware people are. Either that or how obsessively focused they are on that light while the assault rips them a new CT**hole.

there is hud flash which is sometimes easy to miss if you are fixating on a target. i recently had an ecm cheetah melt most of my assault back armor on polar. the hit sounds did not play and by the time i noticed the hud flash it was too late. i was fixated trying to lead targets at the edge of my ppc range. there were lermers and campers on both sides hogging all the sound channels. with some proper sound priorities, i could have heard the shots and twisted to spread the damage a little bit sooner. but the game figured it was more important to listen to my teammates shooting.
frankly this is something i havent noticed in games since the sound blaster days.
