Mic symbol when recoding video unexplained

Hi peeps I have recently started using the video for my D3300 and am going to record an interview. While doing some test runs tonight, I noticed a symbol that looks like a mic with a twirling sign just under the audio monitoring levels. I have set my audio to manual sensitivity. When checking back on my clip, the audio sounds nothing unusual. I'm just slightly concerned as I have used the same setting before and never seen this symbol. I have researched and can't find any explanation for that. Just wondering if anyone has any idea. Thanks.

Howdy and welcome to Nikonites!

Are you using the built-in mic on the camera, or an external microphone? I didn't see anything in the users manual that references the symbol you're seeing, so I'm wondering if it's something related to wind noise reduction or you manual sensitivity settings.
