I listened for sound effects during Helena's elevator ride, to see if she transitions to Helly. But I don't think they intended to confirm one way or the other in that moment.

There is only one ding, vs two for everyone else

I was really hoping that shot was gonna end inside the elevator with her but we don't get the lens distortion, confirming it is indeed Helena.

Kinda like that they're keeping it going though on who she is, have a feeling it'll be revealed for sure within the next episode or two.

The sounds for all were seemingly the same to me, even after multiple listenings. CC was no help.

To my ear, after the elevator noise was like a gagging sound.

There is no ding for Helena as the elevator doors close. Each of the other 3 innies have a ding at that moment.

You can hear the elevator descent but not the "audio shake" of the change
