A better question would be "Why would you possibly need it?"
It's in the /assets/ folder within your .minecraft directory, but Mojang intentionally obfuscated it to prevent people from putting it up on the Internet as people are want to illegally do. So you can go through the index list and sort out all of the files if you choose to.
Again, though, why would you possibly need to? Assuming this is for a resource pack, what you really need is a list of proper file names which you can easily find on the Minecraft Wiki.

I don't think that's their reason.
I think it's so sound assets can be moved/renamed/used differently in different versions, without needing to the same file on disk in multiple locations for that asset for each different version. For practical example, in 1.9 the XP orb sound changed, but it (theoretically) will stay the same as they were before in 1.8 and older.
They also made it able to be easily reworked with the indexes.
Duplicate the file for the version you want (1.8.json, 1.9.json, etc.)
Add this just above the "objects" line:
"virtual": true,
Now alls you need to do is modify your version profile to use this json file instead of the normal one.
Specifically, go in the 'versions' folder, open the .json file, and find the "assets" line, you'd make it something like this:
"assets": "legacy_1.8"
As for why... yarr, I swear it be fair use! One could say that me reverse enginerrin' a small piece of it is a learnin' project where I transformative the work into some'n new and slightly more entertainin'!
Although truthfully, the index files and hashes get annoying, and I'd rather not need to depend on the wiki for a file list, same as I don't for all the other files. I just like to have it in my own bare hands uhhh.... eyes . . .

I’d rather be in, in a good system. That’s where my discontent comes from:
being forced to choose to stay outside.
My advice: Just keep movin’ straight ahead.
Every now and then you find yourself in a different place."
