The new piston sound does not fit the block

I appreciate Mojang for trying to make a new sound for the piston so that it is quieter, but I honestly think they should have just made the original sound 50% quieter. The old sound was heavy and clunky, which makes sense because the piston isn't the slightest bit fancy or advanced; it's just medieval technology, and the piston is pushing 1 by 1 by 1 meter cubes, which are in fact very heavy, so the piston's sound should reflect that. The new sound almost sounds like Lego; it's a very weak, short, and simple sound. Which does not fit the block at all. I personally REALLY don't like this change, and if Mojang does go through with this, they will add a legacy sound pack that will change sounds to their original ones for when they change old sounds

       I am actually quite indifferent to the new sound for the piston, but I really like your suggestion for Mojang to add an option to revert it--along with other sounds that have been modified or replaced--back to their originals. This change is quite minor in the grand scheme of things, but holding onto these sounds for future updates can help familiarize players from past and current generations with a blend of "classic" and "modern" Minecraft without the need to resort to downgrading your update. Being given the choice to mix-and-match like this would be a brilliant feature to have readily available in a sandbox game such as this one.

  Tbh, it didn't even need to be that much quieter. Lowering it by like 15% would probably be good enough
