The Bug:
Turtle Helmet, diamond, gold, chain, iron and leather gear play the corresponding minecraft:item.armor.equip_<X> sound when they lose durability when the player takes damage while swimming in lava.
How to reproduce:
1) Open a world with cheats
2) Give yourself any of the above, for example give yourself golden leggings
3) Give yourself a lava bucket
4) Go in survival mode
5) Go for a hot swim and take notice of the sound being played every time the leggings lose durability
Are you sure you're in pre-release 4? MC-251859 got fixed.
