You were obviously playing four minutes thirty-three seconds of silence by John Cage[1] on repeat in the background! Crystal clear copyright violation!

That actually came up in a now-deleted comment. Incidentally, the audio is back now, though I made no request for review. I wonder if they periodically rescan content when they make changes to the algorithm.
Here's the video for the curious:

There is someone with a financial interest in not having people watch it, but removing the audio won't help them.

Letting black box "AI" that is often incorrect run wild is way less expensive than having a human intervene to review flagged videos. Hence the rise of machine learning algorithms that can do all kinds of neat things, but fail hard on the plethora of edge cases that exist.

Hence the need for penalties on false positives. Alas, here this won't happen on its own, because streaming platforms need people with money (and their content) more than the reverse.
Youtube's filter removed the audio track from a video of mine that was essentially silent to start with. There was certainly no music, TV, movie, etc... in the background.
