I found this bug in minecraft 1.8.8, I selected 1.8.9 because, well, I couldn't select 1.8.8.
The sound for the placement of glass is in category "Friendly Creatures" instead of what would probably make more sense, "Blocks"
How to reproduce:
Go to your 'Music & Sounds' settings and disable all sounds but "Blocks"
Place glass somewhere in a world
Notice that no sound was played
Now enable "Friendly Creatures" as well.
Place glass again
Notice that the sound was played as normal
Please don't report bugs for outdated versions of the game (1.8.8). Is this still an issue in 15w51b?
