A conversation with a friend made me suddenly recall that when I was a kid in the early 80’s, we could occasionally hear a faint rendition of the major local AM station coming from the faucet of the kitchen sink. We lived just a mile or two from the broadcast antenna.
It was very faint and had a spooky sizzling quality, but it was unmistakable. Our wall-mounted telephone also picked it up, but more distinctly. I can understand the telephone noise reason, as there’s an amplifier and speaker. But a faucet? How?

I remember one time when I was a teenager, I was taking a bath and I had an experience I think must have been related to this. I had my head tilted back, the water level was exactly at the bottom of my earhole, and I can swear I was able to hear a very faint conversation. I couldn’t make out any words, and it was only audible when my ear was RIGHT at the water level. But I was able to move my head up and down and repeat the effect for a few minutes. I was home alone and there was no TV or radio on in the house at the time.
