Red soundtracker / audio radar appears in TF2 mysteriously.

I was playing the game like usual, my game suddenly crashed in the middle of a round. I restart the game, and this red radar like circle appears on the top right corner of the game window. It appears only within TF2 perimeter, not outside of the window nor is it in other game. How can I remove this bugger?

That's an external program that you're using for something else. It shows up in games like that constantly. There've been a dozen of these posts over the last couple-few months.

I have tried my best looking over every possible program that could've done this. I have yet found a clue to what can cause this. The most recent program I installed was a game purchased from steam, the circle only start appearing today.

Do you have a program "sound tracker"? Because that's not from the game, nor steam. That's external. It may come with your video card suite. The other threads I've seen it's a blue ring, but look for something similar to "nahimic".

I tried looking for the terms you listed above and other related term, I can't seems to find anything within my files.

Solution has been found. It was a program called "Dolby Atmos for Gaming". I believe the application for a while, but it was only yesterday I accidentally activated it with hotkey for the first time.
In conclusion, problem has been solved. Thanks for all the help!

There you go! Good to know the name of the program too, because someone else might encounter this :D

Dolby Atmos for gaming red radar.

Saving this for future reference. Thanks!

Yup as opposed to the Nahimic blue one found in other threads.

Could you send some of these? Because it doesn't removed after I deleted the Dolby.

Shift + Ctrl + O possibly?

Wait, I know how to disable it now. In the Windows 10 search bar, search for and open "Dolby Atmos for Gaming." In the bottom-right corner you'll see a switch called "Sound Radar." Switch this to Off. You can toggle it with Ctrl + Shift + O. (so you were close, rawWwRrr)
