Candle crackle sounds are played at the corner of the candle, rather than the center of it.
Steps to reproduce:
Place candles on the ground (any count)
(Optional) Place a block in the ground at the south-east corner of the candle
Light the candles
Stand on top of the candles and look down
Rotate your camera around while still looking down
The images show a red circle where the sounds are actually being played.
