Snow producing destruction effects when block below is destroyed

Issue: When the block below snow is destroyed, the snow layer above would produce snow particles and breaking noises as if broken by hand.

Expected Behaviour: The snow should disappear entirely along with the accompanying block without producing particles or sound effects. (as is with <1.13 versions)

Reproducing: 

1. Place snow on top of a block.

2. Remove the block by any means.

Attached is two videos demonstrating the particle effects and sound effects. (breaking a block, and above decaying leaves)

Please close if this is in fact an intended feature.
