I've noticed it since about 12b, and it seems to happen quite often. I think it happens to me most often if the volume indicator is displayed, although I have seen it happen occasionally at other times.

Trying to reproduce it is more likely to cause me to crash the car than having the visuals on but I will have a look at it again later.
