Honestly the only one i appreciate for hunting is the deer's bark. Boar are more than happy to fight you if alerted so you dont even need to sneak while hunting them. Necks you can find 100% of the time just wandering along water sources if that's your hunting target. The deer are the ones where it actually makes sense you have a distant animal noise that actually does seem to be directional (with headphones) to tell you where the deer is from anywhere vaguely close to it. But deer can also spawn pretty much wherever they feel like it (in appropriate biomes) and are skittish, so knowing where they are before they know where you are actually helps to hunt them.

The rest I wouldn't mind if they at least reduced the range you can hear them at. I do still appreciate hearing the (thankfully fainter now) wolf howls before i stumbled into death blindly my first trips to a mountain but there's not a lot of critters in this game that you hunt that aren't just as willing to rip your face off, so I wouldn't mind the noises still existing as potential warning to nearby enemies (just like you still hear the weird "laugh?" of the greydwarf all over the place) but I dont think we need an audio radar for many of these critters. Especially when they also toss animal noises into ambiance tracks just to mess with you sometimes.
