MC-117609Silverfish and endermites don't make footstep sounds or subtitles
The bug
When silverfish (or endermites) move around, they don't make any footstep sounds or subtitles. There are sound events for footsteps (entity.silverfish.step, entity.endermite.step), but the game doesn't use them, nor does it use the default footstep sounds.
All other mobs (including blazes and withers on the ground) make footstep sounds, so this seems inconsistent.
Code analysis
Based on 1.11.2 decompiled using MCP 9.35 rc1
Silverfish and endermites override the method net.minecraft.entity.Entity.canTriggerWalking() to return false. This causes them to not make walking / swimming sounds and does not slow them down on slime blocks or causes magma block damage (see also MC-102267).
Additional updated code analysis can be found in this comment.

When I have played in 1.13.1 I did hear them make sounds. So this may be a problem solely on your device.
Can confirm for 20w26a, it's not just OP. They don't use the sounds in my game, and the wiki mentions that these sounds are unused in Java, but are used in Bedrock.
It would break some resource packs if fixed

Something that hasn't been pointed out here yet is that the sounds are used in the Bedrock Edition.
Can confirm in 1.19 and 22w24a.
Can confirm in 1.19.1.
Can confirm in 1.19.2.
Code analysis (Mojang mappings, 1.19.2): This is an updated code analysis for this issue.
An entity's stepping sounds are only played in Entity#move(...) if Entity.MovementEmission#emitsSounds() returns true, and that is only the case for SOUNDS and ALL movement emissions. By default, it is already ALL; however, endermites and silverfish override this to be EVENTS for some reason. Removing this code:
@Override protected Entity.MovementEmission getMovementEmission() { return Entity.MovementEmission.EVENTS; }(or changing the return statement to be Entity.MovementEmission.ALL) will fix the issue, but I am unsure if it will cause another bug.
