I currently experience this issue on an up-to-date 18.04 install. I came across this bug while googling for "gnome volume overlay wobble". It also affects the other two overlays that I can use (screen brightness and keyboard backlight.) I was able to record in in 60fps so as to make it more evident. Just wanted to share my experience on the most updated as possible Ubuntu.
