Or:

  • Overnight dishwasher strikes a misaligned pan suddenly
  • Wind causes collar beam in roof to flex taught creating footstep sounds above
  • Toilet fan rattles against sudden negative pressure outside
  • Neighbour lets off firearm indoors
  • Chunk of render decides to break off and fall through the wall cavity

The vent fan in the bathroom.

Plot twist: It's actually someone who is extremely enthusiastic about toilets and they like to hang out around your house.

I think they meant the exhaust fan. But side-note... I once put a little fan in my bathroom to blow on my face while I was pooping (the A/C was out) and it was actually really nice. I considered mounting it to the wall and having a toilet fan for luxurious pooping

From the company that brought you the bidet

One of those isn't the same as the other.

And makes it a purely American anecdote

Also happened in Slovakia.

One I had recently heard of happened in Čachtice in 2023.
48 year old ex police officer was cleaning a rifle, when it fired, shooting through a window, and killing a 30 year old mother who was in a kitchen of opposing building 120m (394ft) away.
Less than a month ago he received a 2 year prison sentence suspended for 3 years, and a ban on owning and using firearms for 8 years.

Used sources (in Slovak):
Markíza's report from 2023
RTVS conviction report from 2026

Toilet fan rattles against sudden negative pressure outside

Oh man, I used to live in a very windy area and the bathroom exhaust vent cover would constantly be clanking. I forgot about that little bit of hell from living there.
