Since I updated autoreglib and quark to the latest versions:

1.3-28 and
r1.5-148 respectively

I have been hearing infinite villager noises. Kind of like how the whole server can hear the end dragon. I'm not sure if it requires a villager to be chunk loaded, but no matter where I go, I hear villager "huh" noises.

Did the player have the villager noises added to their footsteps as some kind of troll? or did the new archaeologist villager add a weird bug? Am I insane?

Ok, so going to post this here as a follow up.

Definitely Quark r1.5-148 causing this. I reverted it to the 2/28 version of quark and the haunting squidward confusion has become quiet at last.

It's likely the new archeologist NPC introduced in build 147. I'll do some testing myself.
