The floating microphone is part of Voice Control on your Mac.

You can turn it off by clicking Apple menu > System Preferences > Accessibility. Then scroll down the list on the left side of the panel to Voice Control and uncheck Enable Voice Control.

Here's a link to a support document about Voice Control:
