Although the Music visualization feature card says that the lights “sync to music played through the speakers”, it is not exactly how they function. In its current iteration, the Glyph interface lights up whenever there is audio being played, including for YouTube videos, audiobooks, Instagram reels, etc. It also is not just limited to the speakers, and will light up even if you have earphones or headphones connected. 

It’s possible that in future updates, Nothing will fix this issue or at least allow further customizations that let you enable or disable ‘Music visualization’ for certain apps or connected devices. Do stay tuned for such updates.
