Instead of changing the sound, hear me out: make it so that you can wax redstone components and it would remove the sound. That way those who want the sound can keep it, and if you want sound design you can wax redstone components to silence them (or make them quieter) (or just use mumbo's version)

Loud piston sounds were a design choice that was set in stone over a decade ago. We all used to complain about not being able to make anything "covert" with pistons, but that was the point. The sound is meant to warn unsuspecting players that something BIG is happening nearby. But all of that could be fixed if we just had a resource-intensive option. The standard piston could still be viable in the early game, but the new, muffled, piston can be a quality of life upgrade in the late game.

A potential solution to the issue could be making wool actually block sounds instead of just blocking sculk sensors from hearing them. This way, you could design quiet redstone contraptions by blocking the sound of the pistons, or dispensers, or whatever makes it too noisy, but still be able to make the noisier, more mechanical builds by just not changing anything.

It would make things bulky, and could not realistically be implemented in flying machines, but that's a neat idea

Disguising piston sounds is such a cool usage of the new sound! Best solution I could think of to have the best of both worlds would be to add "silent piston" items to the game that function the same way, but have more of a "wooly" sound to them, or no sound at all. Otherwise, I don't think the change is necessary, since majority of players prefer the mechanical sound anyway and can use just a resource pack for the niche cases where they want to mute the sound of pistons.

Or have them be able to be waxed and when done so have it change the sound from the old to new.

Even as a handicapped user with noise sensitivity issues, I think this unobtrusive sound setting should be part of accessibility settings as a toggle for the softer sound option. The balanced solution is not to push a complete sound design change on users where it is not necessary. This is akin to Mojang forcing everybody to use a high contrast resource pack to help accommodate those who require that support. Mojang needs to go back and give this strategy a rethink.

Literally all Mojang had to do was make pistons a little quieter, instead they make them sound like an awful mixture between a placed honey block and the OG door sound.

Oo thats interesting, you've shown that the new sounds can be both lackluster but really useful in specific builds. Surely this means there's a cool opportunity to add in state change for the piston? Imagine right clicking a piston with a piece of wool to make it quiet like the new sound. Default of course, the default sound

And this is why I love stumbling across the occasional mumbo video in my feed. Absolutely beautiful

Something i heard was making this an option that you can get by waxing a piston. I feel like this would be the best option because we keep the current sound, but it opens up the option for much quieter builds. If they do it like this they could also make it so this sound isnt detected by skulk sensors.

I think the biggest hurdle for this kind of idea would be all the extra processing each individual piston activation would create. Right now it's: activate piston, play sound. But this idea would become: activate piston, check adjacent blocks, choose appropriate sound, play sound. The larger the machine, the more checks and calculations have to be done per piston. I like the idea overall though, it would be pretty sick to be able to play with sound in your builds to that degree. If they can figure out how to code that efficiently, it would be great.

i think it'd be cool to have this piston sound as a variant of the pistons you could make with a piston and wool or something, allows for cool aound design without making pistons worse in literally every other situation

I think it is a decent idea, if they made a "silenced" piston that had this sound. It could be made by combining a piston or sticky piston with honeycomb (wax/grease) that would make it the new quieter sound. This could be done in a crafting table, or after the piston is placed by clicking on it. So, normal pistons keep the old sound, and silenced/greased pistons have the new sound.

You know it’s bad when mumbo has to make an emergency video

2:55 OK you've immediately changed my mind, I love quiet pistons now

1:30 tbh that level of noise as you get close to the machine feels extremely accurately proportional to the machine’s size

i would really like this new piston sound to be a part of a kind of mechanic where you can lubricate pistons to have less louder machines, and this could even have an interaction with sculk where you can reduce/remove the radius where sculk sensors detect pistons

Idea: make the loudness and intensity of the piston sound scale with the amount of black the piston is pushing or pulling. This would allow big contraptions to still feel impactful, while also allowing for interesting sound design choices on smaller builds.

The way I see the problem is that either they are too loud in small machines or too quiet in large machines. So the real solution would probably be to rework the audio system so that there's audio stacking when lots of pistons are pushing at approximately the same time. Tbh tho idk how hard that would be to implement and it might be too costly to be worth it.

the anvil flying machine would be pretty amazing for a prank on hermitcraft with some tweaks to it-- imagine iskall, etho, or tango minding their own business when they hear a rolling bang float over their base. they'd all find it hilarious and want to have an engineering conversation with mumbo about it

Mumbo... I just got off of seaof thieves because i had a headache. And now I'm watching this... 11/10 video though, in quality and audio 👍

think itd be neat if you could craft a silent or muffled piston/other noisy blocks. would allow for cool soundblock stuff but also allow redstoning around sculk. recipe could be just the block surrounded with wool to keep it simple and consistent with wool being the sound suppressant block

I feel like a general in-game solution to the sound issue could be maybe waxing pistons to sort of act like "grease" that makes them quieter. That way people could have both versions, the loud and mechanical sound as well as the softer sound in order to have creative sound design. It would also give even more purpose to the wax and is pretty on theme for it and seems to fit the game well.

Legit all that needs to happen is basically create a whiter contrast texture to the existing piston and sticky piston block and have them as separate blocks called Waxed Piston and Waxed Sticky Piston and have them use the new sounds whilst the preexisting ones use the old sounds. The recipe could easily just be adding on a bottle of honey to each block for the waxed versions.

I love that you never massively criticise Mojang but if you do disagree with a change you are understanding and give potential solutions. It’s so much better than just ranting and complaining

We need wayyy more of this in the community instead of whining children when they don’t get their way.

I think that they should mix the two. Like with small contraptions (5 to 10 pistens) it should play the new sound but anything more than that it plays the old sound. That way your Redstone monsters would sound itematating wile your standerd door would sound like a door.

They could add to variants to the pistons, one being the old sounding ones and the new sounding ones needing like a piston and some sort of lubricant, take your pick so you can choose if you want a a very mechanical sounding piston or a very quiet one

They could've simply turned down the volume of the existing SFX to 80% and it'd fix the loudness without feeling like it's underpowering the pistons.

4:26 caught me so off guard I spat out my drink-

I'd love to see a slider that goes from the new sound to the old sound and the middle is a perfect mix of both. Allowing each player to set their preferred mix of piston noise that doesn't impact other block sounds.

If there was a way to toggle the sound? Like right clicking the piston with something could toggle it to “silent” could keep the piston sound while allowing for sound engineers to have some play

The fish sounds should be on sticky pistons and a more mechanical sound on normal pistons maybe?

Maybe they could have the pistons able to be waxed and have the waxed pistons be silenced (or decrease the base sound/use the new sound) so you can choose which one to use in your build.

Great take

I think a potential solution would be adding a mechanic to make pistons quieter if you wanted to, but keep the loud sound as the default. Maybe let us craft them together with wool as a dampener, or wax them.

My solution would be to add a volume control just for pistons. This way, you can have the normal sound and when you are working on something with lots of pistons, you lower their volume.

Finally the piston-sheep construction can be sound accurate

old piston sounds made redstone contraption fell complex and it was a cool feeling

i think minecraft should make them just like sculk, you can make the sounds silent if you put wool next to them, or your able to 'oil' them just like wax for copper

They should revert the old piston sound back to normal... and then add "Silent Pistons," crafted with phantom membrane, which would use the new sound effect (and have a sticky variant of course). That way we can have BOTH! Honestly, all they needed to do was lower the volume a little and it would have been fine.

What are they doing? MY PISTONS! GIVE THEM BACK!

I saw someone suggesting that you could just wax the pistons for them to make the new sound while keeping the old sound by default. I thought that was a pretty great compromise.

the wizard of minecraft is back, thank you for showing us the update!

I think we keep the old sound, but the volume depends on how many blocks its pushing. Big contraptions sound big, small ones small. And if theres multiple pistons pushing a bunch of blocks connected by slime, then equal out the volume based on the number of blocks and pistons, and lower it so its not super loud if you have like 20 pistons pushing something. I don’t know exactly how mc devs would do that specifically, but i think its good if we want the same sound and they want it quieter.

@IWontBuy-RP

They should do it like how it is in real life with sound to make it seem normal; every double amount of pistons =+3 dB in sound. I like the idea of having the sound come from the amount of blocks the piston is pushing. It makes sense, and there is already code to check how many blocks a piston is pushing. Combining the 2 would create a perfect piston sound.

that's the best idea but i feel like that would be a substantial amount of rework on the sound engine and thus would put the ball on the programmer not the sfx artist. which may or may not be a problem depending on their task loading. i do agree that since redstone is 'tick locked' in a way, it's probably quite wise to 'batch' sound produced for them to at least not overload the sound engine. but that means you need to introduce to concept of batching sounds, how would that work, how does the falloff be affected, how would this apply to other aspect of Minecraft imo it's a worthwhile endeavor but mojang isn't exactly the fastest dev team in the world nor are they the kind of team that geek out on this kind of thing (or have the capabilities to do so with both the corporate overlord and fans breathing down their neck)

@@aronseptianto8142 thats exactly what i was thinking too lol, i dont see why they would put “all of that effort” into something so small. maybe in the future if they ever do an optimization update, but i dont think thats happening either

All they need to do is add a volume slider for Redstone components (pistons, dispensers, etc) like they did with jukeboxes and note blocks. Maybe one for minecarts while they’re at it

With the new sound, I couldn’t hear the pistons at all. With the protest pack, I can’t hear anything! Perfect!

Speaks over the new audio, so one cannot hear it. Brilliant...

i think what would solve this is just making more sound customization like maybe you could turn off sound for certain mobs, blocks, ambience, ect. that would definitely solve how loud pistons are

Honestly, a cool idea that would let us get the best of both worlds would be something like a piston silencer, in which we keep the old mechanical sound but we gain the ability to use an item to make a specific piston not make any noise for the sake of custom sounds in redstone builds.

Ngl. Replacing the piston sound is as bad idea as replacing the creeper hiss. Too 👏 Iconic 👏

creepers are a relic of 2010s game design and they're one of the major reasons I will never play 3D block game, but I fully agree that they're an iconic part of its identity and you couldn't take them away without losing something that makes 3D block game what it is a similar argument can be said for pistons, which are the core of basically every non-cosmetic piece of redstone (eg: not a light switch)

@@Zeldrake Uhm, okay? What a weird reason.

fun! lets get them back to normal!

They should just make it an accesibility feature, similar to the ability to turn down mob sounds. I think the piston sound makes machines feel a lot more mechanical and like there's actually some mechanism physically working.

i like the idea of a new piston sound. really i think more old blocks need new sounds. like the old wood types etc... but the current new sound just doesn't do it. if it sounded more like a real piston, that could be cool. bit of a steam powered sound maybe. tho lets be real. what minecraft really needs it a red stone component volume slider.
