Breaking beacons plays the sound of it deactivating even when it was never active. I belive this is a bug because the beacon does not play the activation sound upon placing.
Steps to reproduce
Create a world in Minecraft: Java Edition version 26.1 or higher
Enable commands and enter creative mode
Get a beacon and place it
Break the beacon without a beacon
You could try it while it is active
Create a 3x3 platform out of any ore block (excluding coal and copper) and place the beacon on top of the middle block (Not Necessary)
Wait for beacon to activate and get the [Bring Home the Beacon] achievement.
Now break the beacon or any block of the 3x3 ores
Bonus: You can enable subtitles (Closed Captions) to see the sound being played
