I can confirm, but I'm pretty sure this is intentional since the same system is used with blocks in the pale garden. From the 1.21.4 article:

New System for Pale Garden Ambient Sounds
Ambient sounds in the Pale Garden biome do not come from the biome itself, but are generated by blocks found in the biome.

This might be intentional but we all consider them "block ambient sounds", this sound isn't sourced from block placement/break/walk/land, so I think it must be changed to ambient sounds category.

Just saw this was fixed, I would like to mention that this report should have probably been about all block-based ambiance, such as the firefly bush, the dead bush sounds, and all of the pale garden sounds as well, as they all use the same system.
