"Carousel" app randomly uses microphone in Apple Watch

I don't see any app named Carousel (on my Watch or iPhone), but randomly it uses my Watch's microphones for a few seconds. Has been like this for weeks. Anyone know what this is?

Hey there Z_Y_X,


If you use your iPhone to manage your Apple Watch apps, you might be able to locate the app using your microphone. The steps below will show you how:


1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone, then tap the My Watch tab. 
2. Scroll to the Installed on Apple Watch section and find the app that you want to remove.

Delete apps from your Apple Watch - Apple Support


You can also check for apps that have requested access to your mic on the Apple Watch. You can do this my tapping on Settings from your Apple Watch > Privacy & Security > Microphone.


Take care!
