Bubbles

When the shower or clothes washer drains I get huge loud bubbles coming up in the toilets. How can I stop this?

One of the vents may be clogged.
Having no air gap to migrate to, they trickle up the toilet.
Cheap solution? Use less soap!!!

I just move here so I am not sure but it could be there is no vent at all, where along the feeds to the septic should the vent be? Lowest point or highest point? One toilet is at the last point before the septic the other is near the highest point.

If it were a vent problem, which is very unlikely, all the vents would have to be plugged, or they would all have to have air admitance valves instead of going through the roof. But the more serious problem may be that the drain is plugged or the septic tank needs servicing.

If the plumbing is in a fairly straight line, then the vent should be at the highest point or at the uphill end of the line.

Could be a dip in the sewer or a partially plugged sewer.

The septic was just cleaned 2 months ago. Could it be a problem in the drywell? When it rains a lot the bubbles are louder & bigger and the toilets drain slower. Could drywell problem cause both problems
