test: enhance sound file update and patch verification with retry logic

Implemented retry logic in tests for sound file updates and patches to handle asynchronous processing via Redis queue. This allows for better handling of potential 422 validation errors and ensures that updates are confirmed after processing. Added detailed assertions to verify the final state of updated records, improving test reliability and robustness.
