GUI Button "Release" Sound Effect

TL;DR
The generic sound effect for clicking a GUI button should be separated into "button pressed", and "button released" sounds.

What ?
Basically the TL;DR. The current button click sound has two "clicks" audible. The sound could be split in two, with the first click playing when a button is pressed (user presses down the left mouse button), and the second playing when it is released (the user releases the left mouse button).
Why ?
The sound effect sounds like a mouse click. When the user hears it, they'll most likely be expecting it to line up with what they're actually doing with their mouse. If they hear two clicks when they hold the button down longer than usual, it might feel a bit..off. Lining the two clicks up with the user's actions would improve the feedback of the GUI, provided the user has GUI sound effects audible.
