Hi!

When you press a number key to bring up an item from the quickbar into the cursor, it does not play a sound. Keep holding the item in the cursor, then press a different number to bring up a different item from the quickbar into the cursor: That plays the sound. Any subsequent repetition of pressing a number will keep playing the sound, only the initial selection of a quickbar item via keyboard does not.

Extremly minor inconsistency in my opinion.

Hello, it is not a bug actually.
The sound you are hearing is the sound of the "clear cursor" action, which is triggered to be able to select a new item. (Also can be heard when you use the Q to clear the cursor).

There is currently no sound for filling cursor from the quickbar by using a hotkey.

Aha, that explains it! OK then.
