Then we moved it up & and downstairs a few times & now the sounds (especially the shower & the toilet) sound garbled & staticky. I've already tried replacing the batteries. I wouldn't mind attempting to take some things apart if I knew it was an easy fix. Any ideas? Is there a wire or speaker that would have come loose? I don't know my electronics. Any help would be appreciated!

There was just enough room for it to slide down and still work sometimes until I came along and started jerking on it.
