Cave sounds are too quiet even at higher volume settings in version 1.21 ‘Tricky Trials’ on Nintendo Switch

Does the issue occur if you run the following command in a world with cheats enabled: /playsound ambient.cave @s Nevermind i can confirm this issue in 1.21.30.25 Android.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to a naturally generated cave and ideally stand far away from any light.

  2. Relog into the world.

Observed results:

The cave ambience sounds are often too quiet, which can make them a lot less scary.

Expected results:

The cave ambience sounds shouldn't be too quiet.

Notes:

This issue seems to happen, because cave sounds can play in a big box around the player (17x17x17 according to https://minecraft.wiki/w/Ambience#Mood_algorithm), which should be fine, but because the volume of the cave ambience sound changes drastically depending on its position (You can verify this by running /playsound ambient.cave @s first and then comparing the volume with the same command but with a position offset of 5 blocks: /playsound ambient.cave @s ~5 ~ ~ ) cave sounds seem to much quieter than they should be.

Affects 1.21.70.22. You can reproduce the issue with the steps to reproduce i commented bellow.

This issue is caused by incorrect volume and pitch configuration in resource_packs/vanilla/sounds.json. Both the pitch and volume should be set to 1.0 to match Java Edition, but the volume is instead lower than Java (0.7) and the pitch can vary randomly (0.8-1.0).
