Has anybody here ever seen or made some sort of calibration to link the rate that the water moves to the outside wind speed?

Happy New Year! (My new years question to all)
I have never seen my toilet water swishing at home but I have seen the water in my office swishing. I does it constantly, I work in the tallest building in Pittsburgh. I always assumed it was the movement of the building.No, most homes and businesses as well. When the wind gets over about 15mph, the water in the toilet bowl swishes around, and it isn't from the movement of the building.
Sounds like an interesting project. You could place some kind of sensor inside the bowl. It could double as a warning for anyone taking a really big dump and clogging the pipes.Inside plumbing. It's gusting to 35 here by looking at the latest swish-wash.
Yeah, I guess not many people live in windy areas.All waste plumbing has to be vented - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system
The piping is most often open at the top, and will tend to resonate like an organ pipe with wind blowing across it.
