I doubt that one can calculate the sound amplitude accurately without doing experiments or complex simulations here. It's possible that the toilet bowl or lid focused the sound like a satellite dish, and the protagonist's ear was in the exact wrong place at the wrong time.

- trott 9y agoThanks. The spherical wave assumption used in the calculation is not compatible with the focusing effect, and could be wildly wrong in this case.
