Certain keys have started beeping when clicked—how do I turn it off?

The "a' "l" "k" "j" "h" "f" keys have all started beeping when clicked. This is a new issue I've never encountered on my Macbook Pro 2021 14".

Slow Keys etc. all disabled as usual. Keyboard settings haven't been touched. This just started out of nowhere. Any advice?
