ASMC
by AstroTibs
ASMC brings sound changes from newer Minecraft releases back to Forge builds, and the client needs it installed to hear them.
What it does
The mod backports a set of sound events from later Minecraft versions into earlier ones, so familiar audio cues appear in older game builds. Many of these sounds are swapped in on the client, and several are governed by config options labeled as server-side even though the mod itself runs on the client.
Only the client is required to run the mod; the server is optional. Builds are published for Forge alone and cover six game versions, with 1.0.2-1.12.2 for 1.12.2 as the latest file. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and source code is public.
Key features
Earlier-version sound backports
Sounds from later Minecraft versions are ported back into the older game, covering six releases.
Beacon power change sound
A beacon plays a sound when its power level changes, using the backported audio.
Enchanting table sound swap
Placing an item in the enchanting table swaps an unenchanted item with an enchanted one of the same kind while the matching sound plays.
Armor stand portal sounds
Armor stands that travel through a Nether portal play transport sounds, a case the author notes as doable with this mod.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Client-side audio update
A player on an older Forge version who wants newer sound cues can add the mod to the client without changing the server.
Who it’s for: Players running Forge on older releases who want backported sounds. Server owners can keep the server unmodified, since the mod is optional there.

What the author says
If the mod keeps freezing your game on world load, it may be because the website hosting my code repository is down. Try setting Version Checker to false. This mod simply backports various sounds to Minecraft versions 1.7.10 through 1.12.2.
