New Android 14 phone, faint microphone icon in top right...

Hey all, probably better places to ask this but you all know everything. I got a oneplus 10 pro, and it has a very faint microphone icon in the top right. It's not there all the time, but I've noticed it with firefox, and a few other apps.

I messed around with the mic permissions but nothing seemed to get rid of it.

What is it, and how do I make it not there?

I think it's meant to tell you the app has access to your microphone, which could be useful to know from a privacy perspective.
If it's anywhere, it might be in privacy related settings.
- This right here, OP. On my phone it's
  Settings -> Security & privacy -> Privacy Controls -> Permission manager
  I bet if you remove FF's mic permission and then open it you won't see the icon anymore. My phone will put a little green dot in the upper right for an app that has permission to access location.
  
  That's kind of what I figured. Though Firefox shows as microphone is not allowed. But it def shows the icon.
