(Java Parity) Lightning sounds are too harsh

In Java edition, Lightning sound effects are more natural - rumbling loud ambiance from a distance, but if it hits close enough, you can hear the sharp explosion sound, which is ideal in my opinion.

 

However, in Bedrock edition, Lightning always makes the sharp explosion sound, every single time it strikes. I don't know if that's because it just tends to strike very close to you or some other reason, but it makes lightning storms very very annoying to me in Bedrock, where I actually like them in Java. I hope to see this fixed someday.

    I came to make similar feedback. My first contribution to this website in fact!

    I have turned the weather sounds down to nearly 0 (It is currently at 3) and cannot hear the rain anymore, but lightning still makes me jump and my ears hurt from the drastic sound. I enjoy the rain sounds but with lightning so loud and explosive I have unfortunately disabled weather audio until this is fixed, effectively ruining the aesthetic and entire point of storms.

    The lightning is absolutely, shockingly loud. I'm enjoying a quiet snowfall in the mountains and suddenly the lightning is making me fall out of my chair.
