Summary

UEFN plays the level audios (such as blueprints&actors placed in the world) in background, even tho the volume slider is set to mute/the minimum.
When you open/focus the editor again, the audio stops playing (which is correct as the volume slider is mute), but as soon as you minimize the editor, the sound comes back.

Here’s a video demonstration of it. Seems like the audio plays in the background regardless of the volume slider, but it should never play in the background.
