Sounds Be Gone!
by meza
With Sounds Be Gone, a player can mute a specific sound after hearing it once, using the list of sounds played in the last minute.
What it does
The client records each sound heard in the past minute, and the player can mute any entry from that list with a couple of clicks. Muted sounds stay silent until the player unmutes them, and the change saves at once to the local profile. Since the mod runs only on the client, a player's choices affect only that player's game.
Sounds that are tolerable in small amounts but unpleasant when a game repeats them nonstop can be marked as Infrequent instead of muted. An Infrequent sound still plays now and then, with 10% of attempts let through by default, and that percentage can be changed in the Infrequent sounds category of the config screen. The filter scales with repetition: recent attempts for the same sound are counted, and each new attempt in a burst has a lower chance to pass. A sound that fires occasionally stays near the configured percentage, while a sound that fires nonstop is suppressed more strongly.
Sounds Be Gone is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.19.2 – 26.3. Fabric builds need Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source.
Key features
Mute any sound event
Any sound event, vanilla or modded, can be silenced without knowing its file name.
Recently played list
The list of sounds from the last 60 seconds is shown on screen, so the player selects a sound by what was just heard.
Reversible mutes
Each muted sound is kept in a record, so it can be unmuted later from the same screen.
Infrequent sound category
Sounds marked as Infrequent play only a share of the time, and that share can be set in the config screen.
Repetition-aware filtering
Repeated attempts from one sound are lowered in a burst, so a constant loop is suppressed more than an occasional one.

Use cases
Sensory sensitivity
Players with misophonia or similar reactions to specific noises can remove those sounds from their game while keeping the rest.
Repeating ambient loops
Machine noises, villager chatter or modded loops can be kept at a low frequency instead of being removed outright.
Who it’s for: Players who find particular sounds distressing, and players who want some sounds quieter without losing them entirely. The mod changes only the local client, so it suits single-player and multiplayer alike.

What the author says
Inspired by my own misophonia, Sounds Be Gone keeps Minecraft playable when specific noises are overwhelming. The mod passively records every sound you have heard in the past minute and lets you mute any of them permanently with a couple of clicks. Everything is client-side, so your preferences affect only your game…
