    I agree with this. I love to build and create on Minecraft, and I love the way you can build both in creative (selecting whatever blocks you want) and survival (where there is a recipe to build and create).

    I also enjoy the challenge of trying to survive along with hostile mobs, such as zombies and creepers and spiders and so on. I wish there was a way I could enjoy all of these things and have a more natural sound in the background as opposed to the screams, eerie voices, and haunting sounds that I hear wherever I am, even if I am not in a cave or the nether or at the end.

    Could there maybe be a game mode the player can choose that takes out the cave sounds (i.e. the eerie unnatural sounds) and simply keeps all the other sounds, such as the noises of animals and water and blocks and such? Or simply a selection to turn off the cave sounds, something that allows those who simply want to build the option to continue to enjoy building.

    This is much needed for people with anxiety disorders

    This is definitely needed in every edition as I can imagine younger audiences being frightened and put off by these eerie ambient sounds. I myself not only find them disturbing, but also annoying as I spend a lot of time in caves mining diamonds and redstone. At first, when you enter a cave and hear one of the sounds, it adds intensity to the game and initiates that 'fight or flight response'; however, after the 20th time it becomes a bit unnecessary as there is no immediate threat and it puts me on edge for no reason as I am an experienced solo player, so I can handle myself well in these cave systems.

    As I am a console player, I remember on some of the older versions there was an option to remove ambient sounds by ticking a box, however bedrock edition does not have this feature as of yet. I also play with headphones, so you can imagine how much anxiety this gives me!

    I think adding this tickbox or slider to the audio section will benefit both parties as those who do not like them can turn them off. As for those who enjoy these sounds because it adds intensity and immersion to the game, they can choose to keep them on by default. This slider wouldn't just be for cave sounds, it would also be for nether and aquatic sounds as well.
