Different blocks produce different amounts of noise reduction.

I thought of this with the new up and coming caves and cliffs update. one of the features of this update was wool occlusion, and this got me thinking what if not only different blocks had different reduction amounts for vibrations (so you could limit the range to the desired amount) but blocks reduction amounts for vibrations also corresponded to how much noise a player could hear through that block (this feature could be useful for Redstone users (but Redstone users would have to find a balance between noise reduction and sigil from the new wireless Redstone block (sulk sensors) and for secret bases/traps), this could be used for more accurate sounds in caves (so you can't just hear zombies through five blocks of stone anymore; which would help with more surprising/interesting gameplay). This feature would also bring a little cool piece of realism to Minecraft (as you know vibrations and sounds in real life are closely related).

Personally, I think currently Redstone is too noisy to have near or in your base and it's too noisy for traps. It's also so annoying to shift everywhere when trying to hide from players.

    Side note: the new glow squid could temporarily stun players and mobs alike (that only lasted like 0.25 seconds and would put a blue spiral overlay on your screen for visual), you could also make it into a potion that could only be used as a throwable or a linger (would only last 0.15 seconds for throwable and the linger would only show a more intense version blue spiral overlay instead of stun or could instead of stun, reverse your walking directions).

    Edit:

    instead of stun, it could just temporarily reverse your walking directions for everything not just linger (for like 0.25 for the throwable potion and 0.50 for the actually glow squid).

    I now have a full suggestion for this "side note"
