Environment Sounds Volume Bug

The volume of sounds produced by minecraft are played too loud when they come from a source far away. With headphones on it sounds like they are coming from right on top of me. When in a village, the doors opening and closing by the villagers can be heard all at once as if the doors were right next to me. Underground water flow can be heard from the surface no matter where I am or how far away the water is just as long as it's loaded in the rendered chunks.
