Not usually, because the cause is either a partial blockage or a vent that has narrowed, and neither one improves on its own. What changes is how bad it sounds, which tracks with how much water is moving. Treat the noise as an early notice.

That's a venting problem. A big slug of water from the washer pulls air behind it, and if the vent can't supply that air the drain takes it through the nearest trap instead, which is the toilet. It gets worse as a vent partly blocks.

Air pressure in the stack is the reason. Upper fixtures sit closest to the vent, so a restriction near the roof shows up there first while the basement drains still behave. The pattern actually helps narrow down where the trouble is.

It can. Warm moist air rises up the stack and meets cold air at the roof, and the frost builds inward from the opening until the pipe is nearly closed. Homes on exposed ground toward Nelsonville see it more than sheltered ones do.
