Video still plays after application closed

I opened am embedded video in an email from Yahoo. It played. Closed it. Went to the next email. The audio started to play. I closed Yahoo. Audio still played. I made sure ALL my windows were closed. Opened Yahoo. Audio played again. Closed Yahoo. Checked to see if any applications were opened (none). Audio still played. Closed the Yahoo window. Shutdown the iPad. Turned it back on. Appears to have solved the audio. This happened last week when I opened a news article with an embedded short which I did NOT open. It’s audio intermittently played in the background off and on. I’ve used an iPad for 10+ years. Use Safari. Shut down my apps, etc. What’s new? I don’t want to shutdown the iPad to shut the 🤬 audio off after the application has been shut.

iPad Air, iPadOS 16

Can you please explain why the issue is occurring, not just the fix? When an app plays content when the user has closed the app and also has background refresh off ... this feels more than a little suspect. Whether there's something nefarious happening or not, that's the impression that's given which is all that matters.

If your iPad is not behaving as expected, try a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:

Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
Press and hold the top button.
When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.

Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
