Strange spike in my analyzer....no sound being played

This is the first time this has happened to me. Slapped an analyzer on a mix I worked on yesterday (over the Master bus). Music stopped, and this crazy spike just stays there.

I figured for sure it was something in my chain. I had 2 compressors back-to-back, only shaving about -1 dB at most each, and experimented with 2 limiters back-to-back...I figured surely it had to be one of the limiters. Disabled all plugins except MAnalyzer, same spike remains.

This "goes away" when I turn the "Smoothness" fader up, but I'm assuming the spike is still there and since the visual is "fatter", it's just not showing it.

if you can't hear it it's probably a glitch. you would hear a 1.25k tone blasting right in your face

That's what I thought. Or I thought maybe my computer was generating this spike somehow but, thanks. I hear nothing audible.
