Grub.cfg not acknowledging changes to GRUB_INIT_TUNE

Alternate Title: My laptop keeps rickrolling me. PLEASE HELP!
For some context, I'm kind of a jokester, and I like doing weird stuff with technology that I think are funny and could make others laugh.

For a joke, I used the GRUB_INIT_TUNE config option to play 40 seconds of Rick Ashley's Never Gonna Give You Up using my laptop's built in buzzer.
After the joke was over, I tried to comment the line and generating a new grub.cfg but it keeps rickrolling me every time i boot for 40 seconds before I can actually use my laptop.
Please help.

I've tried wiping my EFI partition and installing Grub back on it, but nothing seems to fix it. Changing values in GRUB_INIT_TUNE doesn't seem to change the song that its playing.

Maybe post the actual commands you used and your grub.cfg to give us *something* other than "rickrolling" to work with.

I use grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

It's a Lenovo IdeaPad 3, I heard someone from the Fediverse say that Lenovo laptops may flash the bootloader into internal flash memory.
