The new almost complete-overhaul of the sounds in the game are awful.
I haven't been a fan of many previous sound changes, but they were small things I adjusted to, like the door sounds, some were improvements, such as TNT's boom effect, and the addition of new mobs is fine.
But this...
Grass sounds like sand, sand sounds like gravel, chopping wood sounds like tapping on rubber.
I feel like the people in charge don't care about the experiences that made Minecraft so popular in the first place. The oldschool sounds were part of the appeal, and had no reason to be changed.
Even if they felt the need to update them, why they're so inaccurate is beyond me.
I think the sounds should be left alone, and changed back.
In such a short time of existence, the previous updates have increased in nostalgia value. Things just aren't the same now.
Are you still able to mine? Check.
Build? Check.
Craft? Check.
Play the game how YOU want to? Check!
You're complaining about sounds, FFS. If they give you a headache, mute the game. If you dislike them, change them with mods. It's not hard.

A) Endermen are terrifying now (well, at least kinda scary).
Dirt sounds like I'm walking on squeaky planks.
C) Skeletons having a varied idle sound has caused me to become a pin cushion more than once.
D) Don't notice zombies, but spiders are kinda annoying and that "click click" chickens do... Let's not get into the obviously recorded "snort" cows have now.
E) Last guy that posted above me: Your avatar is epic.

Grass sounds is the same as walking in the field. It sounds exactly the same as walking in a thick field. Sand don't sound like gravel. I agree with the wood.
I think the new sounds are pretty good. My favorite sound is when you jump into water. The sand sound though just seems a bit different. Cows...wow, they've changed a lot.
The old grass sound was just plain annoying if you walked on it too long, same with gravel. The newer walking sounds are more realistic than before.
The new mob sounds are wonderful. I can now tell if there's a zombie walking above me in a cave, a skeleton, or a spider. In fact, the spider walking ambiance creeps me out pretty good, which is great.
I can see how you'd no like them though. This game does seem to be moving forward much more quickly than before. Just embrace the change man, you might find you'll like it.
There are always some changes you like and some you don't, but I really like the new cow sounds, the mine cart sound and the new enderman sound is fantastic. I can live with the ladder.
I like all the new sounds with the exception of that new enderman one. *Shivers* Other than that, I approve all new sounds!

People here say they can be changed manually, but how? Deleting them doesn't work, and neither does replacing them with silent .ogg files, the launcher immediately downloads the original files again.

Sound effects are completely subjective. My opinion on this is no better than yours.
Don't like it? Get over it, sound packs are coming soon anyway.
