[0.18.2] Wood mining/chopping sound stops harshly; one sound stutters

mining-wood-3.ogg cuts off too harshly.
It's better (but still not very good) when played outside of the game. With the significant db reduction within the game, mining-wood-3.ogg sounds like it was cut short before the sound was actually finished playing.

mining-wood-4.ogg sounds like it stutters.
It's like it has a double sound or stutters. It doesn't fit with other sounds in the game and seems very off.

The others sound good, especially the boulder mining sounds. I haven't chopped wood in two or three years, but I fired up a new game to check out the various new sounds. Maybe those two wood sounds have always been that way and I just never noticed, but they don't sound right.

We made some changes in 0.18.3, and will continue to make changes anyway to the sounds

Moving this to resolved

Both sound problems still exist as of 0.18.6 and I haven't seen any changelog mention of attempted fixes, either.
Because of "will continue to make changes anyway", I'm not sure how to say this, diplomatically--is the new policy to preemptively move bug reports to resolved?

The changlog doesn't include every change and tweak we make

The original report could also be considered more of a suggestion or opinion

We are working on the sounds, it is a subject that hasn't been touched in many years, so it needs some time to develop,
And this sitting in bug reports for several months isn't helpful, especially as nothing is broken
