[Suggestion/issue] Allow Mekanism sounds to interact with other mods' mufflers normally

Issue description:
Mekanism's machine and generator sounds do not seem to be able to be silenced/muffled by other mods such as Quark's Soundproofing blocks, or by Super Sound Muffler's Super Sound Muffler. Especially after messing with the latter, I noticed that most of the sounds from Mekanism don't seem to be listed, unlike almost every other sound in the game. I realize there is a config option for default sounds, but it would be nice to be able to quiet sounds where you don't want them (for example wind turbines around your base). If that is not possible, then is there a chance for upgrade slots (for Mek's muffling upgrade) to be added to all the machines?
Steps to reproduce:
- Place down wind turbine
- Place down Soundproofing/Super Sound Muffler
- Sounds from wind turbine will remain unchanged. Repeat as needed for other machines such as crusher, metallurgic infuser, etc.

Didn't know that Quark had soundproofing blocks, but I still agree with this. If support could be added for Super Sound Muffler and the like, it'd be grand. Or just sound muffling upgrade slots in everything, that's fine too.
Yeah that's what I'm saying; is there any way to change it on Mek's end so that it doesn't? If that isn't possible, can we get a Mek-internal method to muffle all machines as desired?

That being why I said I don't understand it, I don't know. There are already sound settings in Mek's settings screen.
Mekanism has its own sound system for historical reasons I don't quite understand. To use other mods' mufflers they will need to add special support.
I'm not sure how to explain what I'm asking any clearer. If there is no way to make Mekanism's sound system work with other mods (as appears to be the case), then can you add an upgrade slot restricted to mufflers to all machines that don't have upgrade slots right now? The overall volume adjuster is good, but A) in a big modpack where you have to relaunch everything to tweak the sound volume, this can take longer than is reasonable, and B) it's not all the sounds that are the issue, just that some sounds get annoying when hearing them in a constant loop (like the wind turbines I mentioned previously). Having the mufflers would effectively allow users to adjust the volume on the fly in lieu of editing the config.
