I'm pretty sure sound-reflecting propeties of different paint finishes are different.

Audibility is another matter alltogether, of course.

I'm not familiar with how chemically different are different kinds of finishes of water-based paint. However, with polyurethane for instance, the amount of sheen is regulated by addition of aluminum oxide powder (the more matte the finish, the more of it is in the mix). There's no reason why something like this should not - in principle - affect sound-reflecting properties - for high frequencies, of course.
