I have tested the attached test case and it's fixed. However I can reproduce the issue in some youtube videos, but I'm not sure whether the video has audio track or not. If I mute the video the tab sound indicator disappear.
Also I`m unable to reproduce the issue in Vimeo.com or DailyMotion.com

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhqnIWyNV6c (10 hours black screen, no sound)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg7b2NjKxjI (Lava Lamp HD (No audio))

If you think this issue needs to be reopen, please feel free to do so.

Don't need to reopen this bug, because both video are with audio track.
We won't enable the feature on 52, but I'm not sure we want to enable that on 53 or 54.
Keep NI, I'll discuss what version we want to enable the feature with my manager and EPM.
Alastor, could you please clarify for me how the check for "has sound" is done?

The reason for which I'm asking this is that I verified the testcase attachment and it seems that it has an audio track: verified with FFprobe:

~/Desktop$ ffprobe -i "testcase 1 - no sound (zero audio).webm"
Metadata:
    encoder         : Lavf56.40.101
  Duration: 00:00:09.97, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 180 kb/s
    Stream #0:0: Video: vp8, yuv420p, 1280x1024, SAR 1:1 DAR 5:4, 30 fps, 30 tbr, 1k tbn, 1k tbc (default)
    Stream #0:1: Audio: vorbis, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp (default)

--------------
~/Desktop$ ffprobe -i "testcase 1 - no sound (zero audio).webm" -show_streams 2>&1 |grep 'Stream #0:1'
    Stream #0:1: Audio: vorbis, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp (default)
Oh, sorry, the comment31 is not related with "has audio track or not". You can see the speaker still display when you're playing the "Lava Lamp HD", that is because the video didn't clear its audio track completely, it still has some weak audio signal. The speaker icon would show if the audio track has ANY signal, even it's too weak to hear by user. (And this is website issue) In addition, I don't see any incorrect situation when playing "10 hours black screen".

Yes, the video has audio track but the track is silent , it doesn't contain any signal.

You can check it with Audacity, to check its wav data.

The feature will only be enable after FF54, so we don't need to uplift this change.
