This is a combined version of all the reported bugs about this.
Once a minecart going in a circle is blew up, the sound keeps playing, even when you go to the Title Menu and a different server.
Creepers will keep hissing even if they blew up or you ran away.
Waterfall sounds keep playing even in Title Menu.
Piston sounds keep playing after a piston is deleted and there is also, but rarely a ghost piston.
How to reproduce these are self-explanatory.

this is one bug, with multiple sounds, so I wrote this up to save time instead of looking for specific sounds.
Although the strong possibility that they may all be the same bug - that sounds are continuing to play after it should have stopped - there are still a few differences so the syllogism cannot be made, since the continuation of the sound may not be distributed among the causes. For one, the fact that the ones I've mentioned were not merged into one ticket and that one was resolved and two were not shows its logical fallacy.
Despite all this jargon, I will not eliminate the possibility that these are the same bug, nor will I. (Not that I am able to do anything if I did anyway. 😉)
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
I think you're only supposed to put one bug per ticket... And I'm almost sure all these are duplicates.
