We have a constant sound of "gurgling" water in the wall behind our toilet. It never seems to vary much although occasionally it is louder. I have crawled under the house twice and there is no apparent leaking water and a check of the water meter shows no active leaks (watching the small red triangle on the meter, which does move when water is running in the house). I've checked the water heater to see if the line connected to the pressure release valve could be draining, but can't hear anything and the pipe is cold. I have been up on the roof and listened to the top of the vent lines over our bathrooms and can hear water running in the pipe. I have had a plumber out and he doesn't know what the problem is. We also cut off the valve to our outside sprinkler line to eliminate water in that line from being a consideration.
Question - Could a trap between the house and the city sewer line have failed, creating a conduit for sound from the city sewer line draining to be heard under the house? We are at a loss for where this sound is coming from.
