Once the player has had a particular sound style applied, it stays with the player until it is changed by another env_sound. The setting can be returned to normal by forcing the player to pass through an env_sound with a Room Type of 0 (Normal).

Just to document this somewhere:

The cvar waterroom_type (default 14) controls which env_sound Room Type is applied when the player is underwater. It's seemingly unused in the game.
