Sounds like the lady below you can't make up her mind. A Tony Orlando song, "knock three times on the ceiling if you want me, twice on the pipes if the answer is no". Sorry Trotter, is this an apartment, house or trailer? Septic system or city services? Is it a double/single sink with garbage disposal/dishwasher?

I have heard a thump, thump sound with some drains. Usually plastic since they don't muffle sound very well and is just the sound that slugs of water and air bubbles moving through the pipes make.
