Remember the experimental piston sound change that made them sound like fish and the community was crashing out over? It's actually really good in some cases and some people might prefer it. It could be a resource pack, and I'm sure that one is already made, but what if it was an option in-game.
If you haven't gotten what I'm trying to say, allow us to use honeycombs on pistons to "silence" them.
However, this can be expanded a step further. What if we could change the sound of pistons to something entirely different. I've thought for a while about how you would do this, and the best idea I've gotten so far is using different rocks in place of the cobblestone. This would obviously change the texture too, and, in my opinion, make it better fit into the vibe the build will most likely be. I can see this causing recipe issues with modded stone though.
Cobblestone is, obviously, the current sound.
Smooth stone makes a low pitched constant noise, like what you'd expect from an elevator door.
Blackstone makes a slate sliding noise, similar to a wither skeleton (yes, this was inspired by a door with wither skeleton heads for sound, that's really cool).
Deepslate makes an iron screeching noise, perhaps for a factory building
Prismarine makes an echoed humming noise similar to a lower-pitched portal, which you'd use in a sci-fi project.
Packed mud makes a wood screeching noise for a sliding bookshelf.
Sandstone makes a lower pitched less intrusive noise than blackstone, that would likely sound better with larger doors.
Red sandstone makes a very echoed constant noise, similar to smooth stone. Like a gust of wind.
End stone makes an echoed chiming noise, similar to what you get from a note block on packed ice.
Purpur makes an even more electric noise than prismarine. Sounds like a beep that ends abruptly.
Keep in mind, you could combine multiple of these in a piston door to get just the sound you want.
But, what if we took the visuals of pistons even further? Glass doors look really cool, until you see the disgusting green goop that they're held together by. What if you could use magma cream in place of slime to attach blocks, but keep the nice looking regular piston head. I'm not sure if it should entirely replace slime in the recipe, or have to be added to an existing sticky piston, but regardless, this would probably be a nice feature.
Customizable pistons sound interesting, I don't know about silenced old piston noises though because Minecraft reverted that back to the original pretty quickly.

I like the idea and it would be nice if this also had an impact on the sound mechanics used in ancient city redstone.
