When broken, leaf blocks sound quieter and farther away in 1.21.5 compared to other noises. I'd just created a hardcore world when I discovered this.
Perhaps this was an intentional change I missed, but if so, I'd suggest making the sound a little closer to the original volume so it’s not as off-putting.

Turns out this affects grass blocks as well, not just leaf blocks. So it’s probably a bug.
