Background: I have Chat Patches installed concurrently with Sounds on 1.20.4. With both of these mods running, and with chat sounds enabled in Sounds, I get a deafeningly loud “click” upon opening chat. My best guess is that Chat Patches is using a certain method to draw each line of chat practically all at once, and that method triggers the Sounds sound each time.

Suggestion: A cooldown period, measured in milliseconds, during which the chat sound will not play more than once. This also benefits users in servers with a large message sent upon login.

Yeah sure, seems good!
