Certain blocks will play their breaking sounds and particles if you break a dependent support block (instead of that block itself). This includes:
Tall/double tallgrass (but not flowers)
Vines, but not ladders, buttons or torches
Double blocks (doors, double tallgrass, beds etc). If you break one half of a double block, it will play breaking sounds for the other half as well, causing the sound to appear to play twice.

For vines, the sound also plays if the leaf block it is attached to despawns on its own.
