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?

Recently, I had to go to my car to retrieve something and I could very faintly hear a radio ad inside the car. I sat in the driver’s seat and closed the door, and yep, it was definitely the radio even though nothing was on inside my car. No lights on the dashboard, keys weren’t even in the ignition.
Was that the same sort of thing happening with OP’s faucet?
