A good way to test this is by putting down some tuff and then putting down some calcite. You will notice the step and break sounds are much softer for calcite.

I think they should remain separate, because that report talks about the high pitched noise of the netherrack and this one is stating calcite sounds are too low. Can confirm as well, plays too low compared to other blocks to me.

Attached an image of the waveform of the sounds captured in Audacity, of placing and breaking four different stone blocks.

The stepping sounds in particular are the biggest issue.
