Does the prostration of forgetfulness (sujud al-sahw) become necessary if one forgets the qunut supplication in the Witr prayer, or if one unintentionally fails to recite aloud in a prayer where audible recitation is required?

If a Muslim omits the Qunut in Witr prayer or vocalizing in an audible prayer due to forgetfulness, prostration of forgetfulness ( as-sahw) is not obligatory upon him, but there is no harm in performing it.
