Probably because the newly added track monitors the input.
This is expected behavior if
- autoconnect [1] is enabled
- something is feeding the soundcard's input
- auto-input is enabled [2] and the transport is not rolling
There's an exhaustive list of "what you hear, what the meter displays"
for various configurations at
