Been using Teams since the start of lockdown with a headset. As of today I am getting a double-beep at about five second intervals (like a hold beep) in the headset when I am muted. This has not happened before and been using same headset for months.
Also note that when I mute / unmute in Teams, the headset now announces "mute on" and "mute off" to me.
This feels like a Teams update has created this "feature" - please turn it off!
Managing sound and video settings during Teams meetings and calls for optimal communication

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It Works! I can't believe it! The Setting is in Teams.
I just noticed an update on a separate thread about the same issue.
The person there recommended going into Settings / Devices and disabling the "Sync device buttons" option. They indicated that if it didn't work the first time - re-enable and then disable again just to clear the setting.
I gotta say... This worked for me on the first disable (ie I didn't have to do it twice) . I'm running an Aftershokz Opencomms headset and... No more beeping while muted. Can someone sanity check me on this? I feel like it can't be this easy... Either that or MS stealth launched a fix and didn't tell anyone?
I think I found a hack that works for me.
When connecting to Teams meeting, I change the device settings and select the PC microphone instead of the headset.
Hope you find it useful.
This was happening with Aftershokz after a Teams update in fall of 2021 and was eventually resolved, but the issue is back again as of the end of April 2022. When looking at my version, it was updated to 1.5.00.9163 on 4/20/2022. Unfortunately, I have no control over updates as I'm using a company laptop so I can't rollback to prior version.
Workaround that I had in 2021 doesn't seem to be working now...
Well, on the plus side, they implemented this feature that allows you to save 20 keystrokes in a day with an auto response you can pick. Never mind the fact that you can't think straight about what to choose with beeping noises blaring in your ear.
