This bug is in survival and creative, lighting a Fire Charge creates the same noise as flint and steel, presumably the noise of the flint scraping against it, but probably this was not intended for a fireball.

Not sure this counts as a bug (after all, you're not throwing fireballs, it's limited to your usual reach, so it's not like it should obviously make the ghast/dispenser fireball noise), but if it is — perhaps the sound could be the old 'fwump' sound the Flint and Steel used to make.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.6.4 / Launcher version 1.2.5 ? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w30c? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Confirmed described behavior for 14w30c.
Dear mods, do old bugs (as opposed to ones that were, say, introduced in the current snapshot series) really need this frequent of reconfirmation? I think it's much more likely to cause a false closure if the reporter(s) aren't persistent, and IMO reporters shouldn't be obligated to install snapshot versions.
This bug has changed behaviour as of 14w31a due to an attempted fix.
[19:07:43] [Client thread/WARN]: File minecraft:sounds/mob/ghast/fireball.ogg does not exist, cannot add it to event minecraft:item.fireCharge.use
The correct asset the game should be pulling is sounds/mob/ghast/fireball4.ogg, as a result the game plays no sound for the fire charge use.
Created new report, will differ to mods if they wish to merge the bug reports: MC-64484
Is there another sound file in the game that you think was intended for the Fire Charge?
