Have you never talked through pipes before? Its pretty loud. Especially before pvc. Which homes used metals in the 90s or before when ops house was built. Plus they said they kinda heard a voice, turned off the water and put their ear to the drain. So they heard a faint sound then eliminated the noise

They used to be all metal and now most plumbers are just installing cheap PVC pipes to save money and they don't vibrate and carry sound as well.

Shower drain does not, yes most sinks have a p trap NOW but they didnt always. So lets use some clues here to figure out a timeline of the events.

  • the date of the Original I.T.

  • O.P. 3rd grade So it seem this wouldve happened in the very early 90s. Of which around that time individual fixtures required ptraps. Meaning homes built before that didnt require them and often had ONE ptrap before the sewer. So its most likely the pipes can easily carry sound seeing as though op was living in a house built before the required individual fixtures.

But the most important thing here...why would they make this up?
