Piston sound

Please change the piston sound back this is one of the most iconic sounds in Minecraft it'd really be a shame to change it. A possible fix would be just lower the volume or atleast make it an option in settings. Another idea that isn't mine is to use wax to optionally quiet a piston. I agree sometimes we want loud pistons and other times it'd be nice if they were quieter but flat out changing it sucks.

  waxing gives the player a choice on the piston. the old piston sound works well to where you know its firing in standard contraptions. waxting it to make it silent be the best option. cause if someone makes something that needs to be silent but its in a setting. it wont work how they would want it to. since multiplayer wouldnt all be the same settings.

  I love the new piston sound. They sound like a well-maintained machine. I've avoided using them due to their obnoxious omnipresence. I understand them being loud when they were first developed - a novelty at the time. Now with machines requiring dozens of them, I'm glad they've been 'oiled'.

  Maybe you could waterlog pistons to make them silent sorta like how skulk sensors work. This could work well because it the new sound sounds a bit like a component underwater. To avoid water and redstone incompatibility, they could make the water logged pistons self-contained so they wouldn't spill out and destroying redstone.
