This issue is specific to the Waves screen. If I start on a different screen and then switch over, I don't hear any sound.

I think I isolated it to the "greenhouse gas concentration" sound on the Waves screen, if that helps. If greenhouse gas concentration is high, the sound is easy to hear when you switch screens, or even return to the home screen.

Thanks @Nancy-Salpepi @amanda-phet.

@jbphet the sound for the redirected IR is leaking through to other screens. As @amanda-phet points out, it's easiest to hear if you maximize the greenhouse gas concentration. This would be good to fix for the prototype.

I fixed this by associating the main view node with the loop for this sound. This change was also pushed to the 1.1 branch.

This looks fixed in rc.2. Closing.
