You can't swipe it away on Windows Phone or iOS either. The difference is that in Ubuntu, it is much bigger and completely opaque, which makes it more obstructive.
If it was smaller and/or more transparent, and if it could be tapped through (like Ubuntu notifications on the PC), maybe you wouldn't feel the need to swipe it away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-sound in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1382857 Title: No way to swipe away sound notification Status in “indicator-sound” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Using RTM 5 on Mako, there is no way to swipe away the new sound notification overlay.
