When any hostile mob hits you while you have your shield "activated" and deals damage, sound for taking damage doesn't play. The other bug report is only for zombies, this is zombie pigmen and more.

The sounds are not available yet, confirmed by Jeb on twitter: "Pushed the shields to master, they will be included in the next snapshot. Also work in progress, no sfx or fun feedback at the moment"
Not the shield sounds, the actual damage sounds are missing. Get hurt by a mob and you don't hear the punch-like sound that has been there for a long long time. Even when you d take damage.

These bugs are still present in 16w03a. You take damage with no damage sound, and no hearts-lost animation.
Can confirm.
