Mob noises are audible from quite far away at maximum volume. Which makes it impossible to detect where exactly they are, and also an extreme nuisance, especially with meerkats.

Version (please complete the following information):

• Minecraft Version [1.17.1]
• Mod Version [2.0.0-alpha.9-fabric]

I have tweaked all of the sounds to have a more consistent volume in the latest alphas.
