contents We consider Helmholtz problems with a perturbed wave speed, where the single-signed perturbation is linear in a parameter $z$. Both the wave speed and the perturbation are allowed to be discontinuous (modelling a penetrable obstacle). We show that there exists a polynomial function of frequency such that, for any frequency, for most values of $z$, the norm of the solution operator is bounded by that function. This solution-operator bound is most interesting for Helmholtz problems with strong trapping; recall that here there exists a sequence of real frequencies, tending to infinity, through which the solution operator grows superalgebraically, with these frequencies often called $\textit{quasi-resonances}$. The result of this paper then shows that, at every fixed frequency in the quasi-resonance, the norm of the solution operator becomes much smaller for most single-signed perturbations of the wave speed, i.e., quasi-resonances are unstable under most such perturbations.
