I proposed this suggestion due to the existence of numerous traits that offer both an advantage and disadvantage so there is a precedent for trait drawbacks (Laidback Disposition, Reckless Rescuer, the Chivalry traits, and Spiritual Sensitivity to name a few). Introducing drawbacks to this I feel would make it precisely so that it prevents people picking Quiet Person solely for its decreased say range, and Keen hearing solely for its ability to counter Quiet Person. I still feel that people would take these traits even with the added drawbacks if they feel it fits their character, and I feel like that should be the emphasis. I also feel that it would make more sense for the existence of these drawbacks based on the justification I provided in my post.
