It appears that the older versions of minecraft had a different way of downloading the sounds and music. The download link for these resources is returning a HTTP response code 403.
The following is an example from the log added:
[0316/145745:INFO:GameCallbacks.cpp(178)] game/game () info java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftResources/sound3/ambient/weather/rain1.ogg
This issue appears to be recent, most likely less than 3 weeks old.
I've tested this in BOTH the native launcher and the legacy java launcher, as well as some often-used third-party launchers. Each return these exact 403 errors.

As a note, the index still exists: http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftResources – but the actual files pointed to by that index don't seem to work anymore.
Uploaded an additional logfile of this reproduced with 1.5.2 (occurs with older versions as well). Log is truncated due to me shutting game down before it tried to get all assets.
We will need the old sound data uploaded to the current assets storage, we will need new metadata (assets indexes) made for the old releases AND we will need launcher changes to fix this properly.
For now, I marked this as related to MCL-6280, but the launcher changes for this should likely be split off into a new ticket.
In this moment minecraft snapshot 13w24a and the more old versions not have sound or music, it's sad because the problem not are fixed in a very long time. 😞
This was in fact resolved. Only in a bit of a weird way for the average person.
Regardless, the only thirdparty launchers that did not have this issue resolved turned out to be cracked launchers, and those are obviously not supported by Mojang. If anything, they'd be taken down by Mojang...
Definitely not still resolved, considering I had to spend an hour gerry rigging my game to get any sound. The youtube link was down, so I decided to find my own fix, and it was pretty easy, though maybe not the most rigorous or universal process. I just copied all of the files in the resources folder of the new launcher and pasted them in the directory my old launcher looks to. Not sure if this works with all the sounds, but I've play for a little bit and it seems to have done the job.
I would like to add that MC 1.6.4 and up are completely fine. This issue appears therefore unrelated to issues like MCL-6280, MC-115753 or MCL-6880.
