Thanks for solution but this looks complex...
Best solution is to re-start game. For me it happens so rarely that a restart is probably good anyways so I can go do something else for a bit.

Thanks Vetrogor, I'll add it to the Wikia!

Is is the laughing sound ? For me sometimes, after i visit a tavern, that sound remains and i can hear it on menus over and over (like on the reports page). It's realy annoying.

Yes

 

[Vetrogor]

Added fix for arena ambient sound.

 

[voronius]

As an easyier "fix" to make it less annoying not to fix the actual bug, i found that sound and replaced it with the null one. So now it doens't bother
me anymore, even if it's still there.
It was in Sounds folder (below pop module folder). Called "tavernsound.ogg", i appended an ".old" to its name for backup. Then copy the "null.ogg" from the Music folder in the Sounds folder with the name "tavernsound.ogg" . I had no notable issues with the game for doing this.
