The Sound indicator allows one to easily adjust the sound volume, play/pause a particular music player (there are numerous media players compatible with Ubuntu's sound menu), turn OFF the sound by middle-clicking on it, furthermore the sound menu contains a handy link to System Settings' sound panel, where in-depth configurations can be tweaked and adjusted.

Also, despite its functionality and discrete presence, there are persons who prefer a clean, simple Unity panel without the Sound indicator.

Indicator Sound 0.8.1 has landed in Ubuntu 12.04 just now, adding the 1-click way to disable the Sound indicator from the top bar, option available under System Settings-->Sound-->check/uncheck Show sound volume in the menu bar


The power indicator gained the same behavior, thus being easily displayed/hidden under System Settings-->Power-->Show battery in the menu bar
