Is Flurry's new sound effect intentional or a bug?

Flurry has two distinct sounds when used. First one is used for first 5 rapid hits and the second one for Flurry's finisher. They were both audible and easy to distinguish. But after latest patch, the sound effect for first 5 hits is barely audible "windy" sound. I, personally, can only hear it if I am fighting alone in a relatively quiet surrounding. Otherwise it's like I am doing hits in complete silence. It also feels completely "different" than the sound effect for the finisher. Maybe it's just me being used to the old one, but still...

Is this intentional or is it a bug?

    I presume it is intentional.
    It feels more "stealthy" and fast. It seems appropriate just using certain weapons.
    I prefer the previous sound.

    Same applies to Teleport Strike (Ambush, Lotus Fan): I prefer the old sound, new one seems too similar to Drain Power (Power Extraction, Sap Essence) or more appropriate for a leeching ability.
    "... and the blue fire of Helluin flickered in the mists above the borders of the world, in that hour the Children of the Earth awoke, the Firstborn of Ilúvatar."

    I like change and don't mind them doing it, but what is the point of having a sound effect which you can barely hear? Or am I the only one who can barely hear the sound of Flurry's first half?
    Edit: Before, when I was in a fight with lots of things going on around me, I could hear when my Flurry was actually activated, as there were many instances when it was bugged. Now I can't hear that any more.

    It's like my nightblade is just shadowboxing. An absolute joke. I only play DW NB and am reaching the point of no return with this game finally. They've only gone and ruined one of my favourite things, I'd have been happy with them turning it down a bit, it was a bit noisy, but yeah, I can't hear it in most situations. Sad. So many single-player RPGs coming out I won't be around much anyway.

    Hey, all. We are investigating a series of sound issues now. If you think that an ability is making a wonky noise or notice any other sound issues, we encourage you to report them in-game using /bug. Be sure to keep an eye on the Known Issues thread, as we'll be updating it when we have more information to share. Thanks for your patience!

    Sound of flurry is still broken. Please fix it so that it feels like i am hitting something with my swords again.
