YouTube continues playing after closing tab

After watching a YouTube video, the audio continues to run on videos in the playlist even after I close the tab. I can click on the little speaker icon in the safari search bar on other tabs, which shows me the sound is coming from YouTube, but there is no tab open for YouTube. I'm running Sequoia 15.6.1. Help!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.6
