Windows 10: Ghost Audio

So I was just randomly doing stuff on my computer, with a Youtube video playing music in the background. I paused it at one point, only for another 'video' to start playing audio. By pressing the volume buttons I could see that it was another yt video playing, a documentary called 'Time Team Special' from an account named Fillask - not entirely sure that's relevant but oh well. However, I couldn't find the source of this audio anywhere. I had no tabs like that open, not had ever watched anything similar at all. I was even more surprised when I closed down Google and the audio continued playing. I then closed everything open, and searched through Task Manager, and still couldn't find what on earth could be providing the audio. Checking the people in my house, no-one else was watching a Youtube video like that either, and my computer wasn't connected to any device through bluetooth.

Does anyone know what could be causing this 'ghost' audio to play?
