Is it possible to eat quietly in Minecraft?

In some multiplayer games it is necessary to hide from other players. On one occasion I had to eat food while hiding; the loud chewing sound alerted a player to my presence who then found and killed me.

Is there a way to eat quietly? If not to maintain stealth, just to have good table manners.


Solution 1:

The only way would be a cake, the placement sound is much quieter and eating it makes no sound.

Otherwise only resource packs can disable eating sounds, but of course only for yourself.
