Thanks Vic. I just wonder, when someone asks me the difference between these sentences. How should I answer them?
Should I say, "We use 'in' because the place the sound is coming from is enclosed. And we use 'from' to emphasize the direction the sound is coming from."?
Does this sound convincing? Hehe
