Keep the Old Piston Sound BUT allow them to be "silenced".

I think we can all agree that the new piston sounds are not what the community really wanted. You can even hear it from creators such as Docm77, Xisuma or MumboJumbo who only want what's best for the game. Here is an idea I saw written a bit across the community. Keep the old piston sounds BUT you can wax pistons in order to reduce the sound/ silent them. This way you give more use to bees, you satisfy the people who want to keep the old sounds and you also satisfy the people who want more silenced pistons. There have been already some posts on this topic better phrased than mine, but I also wanted to make one since I love this game and I don't want to see other people start hating it for such a small reason.

    please don't take away the old Og piston sound if you want to silence pistons just make it so you can craft one with a wool block to silence it. The piston sound is what makes redstone builds cool and why take it away when there are better ways to get it silenced and wool already blocks vibrations. Please consider this it would be easy to code in and every one will be happy! Thanks

    Another solution would be to keep the old piston sound, but also include a piston volume slider somewhere so we can decide how loud it is.

    I feel like having to manually wax the pistons might get annoying (especially if you ended up having to spend forever searching for the one piston unwaxed piston in your door/flying-machine/farm/whatever) and having them check whether or not they're waxed every time they get triggered might create a bit of lag. Maybe it would be better to make craftable silenced pistons (and sticky silenced pistons) that act as a separate block with their own texture
