Seems to me that if the design of household drains was sensitive to turbulence, someone would have figured out how to fix it in the 19th century. -- rec -- Of Plungers, Snakes, Toilet Jacks, Gong-Farmers

More I look at it... Looks like there were a lot of shortcuts in the wall. If they didn't make a clean-outable P trap, hmm, maybe they shortchanged the vent. I also notice the HVAC duct vent on the floor, suggesting somebody used the between-studs area as a way to move heat/cool around without

I like the "listening" ideation offered, I *have* used the temperature/tactility mode of holding my hand on a P-Trap to "feel" how the water flows... vibrations convolved with "coolth"...  usually filling the sink partway and holding the p-trap in my hand while I pull the plug and "feeling"
