The bug
If a Piglin cannot reach an item they admire, they can play the retreat sound multiples times at once repeatedly for a short time. When you leave the world and join back while this is happening, there is a chance that the Piglin can play the sound forever as long as the item they admire is still there.
How to reproduce
Spawn a Piglin
Drop a gold ingot somewhere within the Piglin's sight that they cannot reach.
→ ❌ The Piglin plays multiple retreat sounds at once.
If you cannot reproduce, open
and keep dropping the gold ingot on top of the obsidian pillar.

I attached one instance of this happening. I record all my gameplay, but to find the other ones I will need to go through and locate them
Also, I can't seem to recreate it on demand, but it does seem every play-through causes it to atleast happen once when I trade with piglins, but the sound doesn't sound normal.
Hi, please could you provide a video of this issue occurring as I wasn't able to recreate the behavior you described.
