Two posts in a row about bathrooms is purely coincidental.
Most bathrooms ring at certain pitches. Like, if you hum the right pitch, the whole bathroom will vibrate, and loudly at that.
The boys’ bathroom by the auditorium at my school? That rings at about 108 Hz. That’s a low A, two octaves below the “tuning A” pitch.
The bathroom by one of our gyms rings at a G#, a half-tone below the aforementioned A in the auditorium bathroom.
The bathrooms at home? One at B flat (octave +1 half tone below concert tuning A), and the other at the C just above said B flat.
Try it out.

Haha, my overhead light/fan hums at a frequency that rattles my mirror lights. Couldn't tell you the pitch thought.
