Check at Settings > [name on top], and scroll to the bottom. If the iPad is listed there then it is logged into your account and you can tap on it to remove and I would recommend changing your password if an unknown iPad is listed there.

It is my son‘s iPad. My wife has one as well. Hers does not show up, his does. It is not on my connected devices list. Want to remove it as an option for phone call audio.

This means your son is using the same Apple Account as you. Your son should NOT be using the same Apple Account. He should have his own account, then depending on his age, you can use Parental Controls and Family Sharing to share content with each other. Please read the following links:


Make sure that each family member has a unique Apple Account - Apple Support

Until you do this, your sons iPad showing up as an audio option is the least of your worries. You son can see every phone call you make. You son can read your text messages. Your son has access to all the same data on his device and he can delete things, like photos, messages, music, etc. without your knowledge or permission.
