Levers use wood sounds rather than stone
Despite having a solid cobblestone base, levers use wood for their placement, breaking and co. sounds, which does not seem right. Shouldn't they be using stone's sounds instead?
Steps to Reproduce:
- Place down a lever.
- →
Notice how the lever produces a wood sound upon being placed. - Break the lever.
- →
Notice how the lever produces a wood sound upon being destroyed.
Expected Behavior:
The expected behavior would be that levers would produce stone sounds as they are mostly constructed and crafted with stone.

May be worth reopening for mojang to decide. Other reports about blocks making different sounds than expected were considered valid and fixed. (MC-200484, MC-217628, MC-217629 and MC-182820) since the block is now called "dirt path" as of 1.17 you might expect it to use dirt sounds. Though the placing sounds are like grass blocks, meaning a fix would lead to an inconsistency. This bug report could be generified to be about placing and breaking sounds for dirt path too.

The Bug:
Levers produce wood sounds despite mostly being constructed of stone.
Steps to Reproduce:
Expected Behavior:
The expected behavior would be that levers would produce stone sounds as they are mostly constructed and crafted with stone.
I can confirm this behavior in 1.18 Release Candidate 3.
Here's a code analysis along with a potential fix regarding this issue. The following is based on a decompiled version of Minecraft 1.17.1 using MCP-Reborn.
Code Analysis:
If we look at the above class, we can see that levers utilize the .sound(SoundType.WOOD) method which is used for determining whether a block should produce wood sounds.
Potential Fix:
Simply replacing the .sound(SoundType.WOOD) method with .sound(SoundType.STONE) within this line of code should resolve this problem, as levers are predominantly constructed of stone. The correct line of code within its class should look something like the following:
