The bug
Despite having different names, the Snifflet shows up as "Sniffer" in the subtitles. This is inconsistent with turtles, which have exclusive subtitles for babies (see MC-167375).
To reproduce
Summon a snifflet using the following command:
/summon minecraft:sniffer ~ ~ ~ {Age:-1000}Wait for it to produce sounds.
Expected result
Subtitles would display "Snifflet steps", "Snifflet scents", etc.
Observed result
Subtitles display "Sniffer steps", "Sniffer scents", etc.

"Snifflet" is not used in-game, but it is not exclusively a community term: it was used by Mojang on several occasions (sniffer announcement, 23w12a changelogs).
In any case, this is inconsistent with turtles, which do have exclusive subtitles for babies; however, this most likely could be considered a feature request. Still, I'm leaving this open for Mojang to decide.
The name "Snifflet" is nowhere in-game and is a community term; all subtitles show baby sounds as adult as they use the same sound events.
