No sound when your shield gets some hits in 1.3.01?

Hi commanders,

Since I did not take a video of what I have experienced today, could some of you confirm whether or not anything has changed, since update to 1.3.01, in the sound you hear when your shield gets some hits?

I was at the conflict zone at Gandii, flying a Cobra with paper thin shield, searching for a prey. I did notice these two commanders in the opposite faction but did not care since they were not shooting at me. Then I realized that my shield was almost down to 0%: they were actually shooting at me but I did not hear anything, not any noise of weapon hitting my shield!

I then flew back to Lub Hub to repair, reloaded, went back to the CZ and, though I could hear the lasers being shot at me from time to time (I basically always fly at top speed+boost to 440m/s, and chaff if required, so I do not take many shots), my shield did not make a single noise (or maybe a very low noise which I could not notice in the middle of the battle?) while taking some hits.

Anybody else experiencing this?
 
I had this happen to me yesterday. An npc was shooting at me and I could see my shield taking hits but there was no sound, he wasn't marked as hostile and he didn't become wanted either. I actually left the instance rather than get a bounty for killing him.

It only happened once so I assumed it was some kind of momentary server communications glitch.

Thank you for letting me know that i am not the only one.
I have created a bug report for the same:

If anybody else faces the same problem, please feel free to leave a comment in the bug report. I really wish to have this fixed ASAP, yesterday a player depleted my shield almost entirely and i did not even notice! I had to run away rather than fight back... :(
