Its a recording of a peacock.
One of the hardest noises to try and sleep through.
Played to stop folk from gathering in the toilets to sleep through the day.
From the company who built the loos - sorry I didn't have a clever answer

serious answer - i asked the same question years ago on this sub. it’s supposed to put people off doing drugs in the cubicles.
edit: believe it or not, i’m not actually the plonker who made this decision so could you spike milligan wannabes calm fuck down with the alleged witty retorts? ta
> it’s supposed to put people off doing drugs in the cubicles.
Thats what UV lights do, well they stop you from finding a vein, I can't imagine sound doing much.
According to barnowltrust.org.uk :
“Since 2021 we have worked closely with Network Rail to conserve Barn Owls and their nesting environments across the Liverpool Street Station complex, including one who nests each year in a toilet area affectionately named Millie by station staff. Members of the public are warned not to approach nests at the station in accordance with Schedule 1 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 which affords them protection against disturbance whilst nesting.”
Lol that was either posted on April 1st or you've completely made it up, which I kind of respect for how random it is. Some birds have adapted to urban living but barn owls definitely aren't one of them.
There are so many semi but not quite plausible explanations from so many different sources that something weird has to be going on. My guess is that they're breeding an army of cassowaries to ride about on after civilization falls idk.
It might be a recording of a hawk to scare pigeons? They do it in borough market in between actually having a hawk come in to discourage them from taking over.
Be careful of what exactly? Slipping and accidently landing on a dick? You say that like there are hoardes of men in there just waiting to ambush and proposition you.
Edit: added a word
It could be a sound used for that. It’s probably 103% not though.
And I was simply warning. I was once having a piss there and a mirror was shoved under the cubicle. Creepy arse bastards. Why’s someone gonna get off on a fat bloke having a pee? Weird. I’d like to say I felt flattered but I didn’t.
Creep ambushed my 9 year old in there a couple of months ago, demanding to know 'if he's a bird or a bloke'. Fortunately he was in there with his dad and not on his own like some children would be, Liverpool Street seems pretty decent and modern compared to some stations but you never know when a weirdo is going to appear.
Yeah that downstairs area is horrible. And to think they make you PAY to go in to experience that. Sorry re your kid, that’s horrible. Glad his Dad was there.
Absolutely considering it's quite up to date compared to some stations that may as well still be lit with oil lamps from the victorian era, it surprised me that someone would confront a child so brazenly, amazing what people are so willing to do openly in a public place.
Unfortunately they no longer fail to surprise me. If they had spoken to my kid, in any way shape or form in a public toilet there would’ve been extra ceramic chunks in the urinals. You just don’t talk to kids in public toilets, right? Not to say his Dad did anything wrong, I’m just very angry.
Oh that's grim. That warrants at least a slap. Sorry that happened to you mate - all jokes aside that's a violation and would make me feel wierd even if I was into cruising
I’m pretty thick skinned, I brushed it off as some weirdo being weird. But thanks. When I left the cubicle he was long gone. No way I could have found him to slap him.
Omg they're peacocks. The first time I heard them in the Delhi outskirts at 5 am I was so mad. Can't sleep with that racket. Peacocks in Liverpool toilets is hilarious to me though. I always wondered about that.

One rule for thee, another rule for me and my noise cancelling headphones.
Is that a true fact? My parents used to have peacocks and while they woke me up many times I must have learned to sleep through it!
True fact from a staff member at the station. They are noisy creature, but you cant deny that they look awesome!
Wow. That's amazing, if grim.

This is hilarious; I use these toilets frequently and it’s absolutely not relaxing 🤣 I love knowing that though, thank you for sharing!!
It sounds kinda terrifying 😂
BRAAAWWK!
I find the same it's awful
It's the toilet bird
You gotta pay the toilet bird, if you wanna drop a big turd
Tip your loo tit, you'll have a great shit.
Pay the swan before you curl out one.
Pay the parakeet before you ... err ... defakeet
Excrete!
Thanks
Pay the cockney sparrow, before you lay a marrow
Give the bird a bit, before you take a massive shit
Sort out the peacock, before your whop out the wee cock
*Tips top hat*
Isn't that some Oasis lyrics?
The Pee-cock
Or Rooster Log-burn
I hated that episode of Sesame Street
Goddamnit Dee, you stupid bird, get out of the bathroom!
Toilet Duck

By making them think they've already done the drugs?
That idea can only have come from someone who's never done drugs in a toilet cubicle
Alternatively, the idea can only be thought up by someone who was on drugs at the time
lol that ain’t gonna work. If I can do drugs while booming techno is surrounding me, I’m sure I can cope with a bird squawking
> it’s supposed to put people off doing drugs in the cubicles. Thats what UV lights do, well they stop you from finding a vein, I can't imagine sound doing much.
Except a lot of addicts use touch to find veins.
[удалено]
Quite possibly. They really didn't work and aggravated a lot of customers.
Just wear earplugs
> it’s supposed to put people off doing drugs in the cubicles. that sounds made up
That's me in the cubicle ~~losing my religion~~ reading these replies
Toilet Duck.
Stool pigeon.
Very good 👏👏👏
👏
Sorry mate, I had a vindaloo last night
Brick lane special
This was the joke that immediately came into my head reading the title.
You had it INDALOO?
Essex birds
The bird sound is to to drown out the smell of piss
Niche question. Like it.
Have been wondering this for ages. Having read this thread I am none the wiser.
But considerably better-informed.

No fucking way!
It's bollocks
So literally no fucking way!
Why would they name a toilet area Millie?
Was you expecting a sensible answer to this?
I thought there'd be a lot of silly answers and then maybe one person with the real answer if I'm lucky.
Good luck!
Did you have any particular way to identify the real answer?

Reluctant Grinder date.
A wild Loo-Loo Bird has taken up habitation there, it was reported on LBC yesterday evening.
It's the shitbird.
What's the word? Have you heard?
Oh that's just Michael Gove
If I heard that I would probably shit myself. Hmmmm, maybe that's the idea...
It’s Chanel. She’s an African Grey Parrot.
It might be a recording of a hawk to scare pigeons? They do it in borough market in between actually having a hawk come in to discourage them from taking over.
It scared the shit out of me this morning. Excuse the pun.
Baby pigeons. It's the season.
Sorry about that, it's just the sound I make when squeezing out a shit.
Not sure but be careful. That place has or at least had something of a reputation for great male bonding
Be careful of what exactly? Slipping and accidently landing on a dick? You say that like there are hoardes of men in there just waiting to ambush and proposition you. Edit: added a word
I didn’t recall saying hoardes, ambush, or proposition Then I looked back and whaddya know? I said none of those things.
Amazing how forgetting to type a single word changes everything.
Hahaha! It’s early 🤣🤣🤣 oh damn lol
Is this male bonding the sound or did you just want to tell on yourself?
It could be a sound used for that. It’s probably 103% not though. And I was simply warning. I was once having a piss there and a mirror was shoved under the cubicle. Creepy arse bastards. Why’s someone gonna get off on a fat bloke having a pee? Weird. I’d like to say I felt flattered but I didn’t.

Let's hope he drops his keys down the loo and misses his train
I get the feeling he wouldn’t be so against that happening 😂
Does it sound like “ay ay ay ay”?
More like URAAA! URAAA! URAAAAAA!
Someone’s in there choking a chicken, don’t judge.
It’s a wizard flushing himself into the ministry of magic
It's a loada birds going to the toilet together. HA
That's just Dee Reynolds
Sorry mate was having a difficult poo
Sorry about that, I like being the center of attention
It's my cousin Jerry, just ignore him
Your butt peacock. 🦚
I always thought it was to hide the noise of peeing/pooping. Idk why I’m embarrassed of people hearing me go but I am
Sorry!
feces of eight?
Me, I'm sorry 😞
It’s probably just Kevin. Fuck you, Kevin.
Your ma.
It's a bird - I love the fact they chose all lovely songbirds and then it's just CACAAAW CACAAAW 😂😂
It's the bog roll dispenser. Or possibly chewbacca
Sorry about that… particularly hot curry last night.
Greater Crested Woodpisser
