Was it set directly on the plywood.
New tile floor squeak.
What kind of substrate was used for the tile installation.
Hear a squeaky wood floor in your home.
Either way you can easily stop shoe from squeaking at home.
Answer answer the fact that there is a squeak under the tile suggests that the wood underlayment subfloor is moving to some degree.
Use superglue for broken bottom.
Normally there should be a slight gap between the shower pan and the floor tile.
In the case of old shoes squeaking may happen due to damages either to the outsoles or insoles.
Look for protruding nails and hammer them into the wood.
Have your friend walk across the floor again to determine if this corrected the squeak.
Normally this is avoided if when the wood subfloor underlayment is installed it is glued and screwed so there isn t any movement or chance for there.
Underlayment should have been attatched with screws or staples at a rate of every 3 4 at all seams and 8 10 through the field of each sheet.
Gaps between the pan and floor sometimes squeaks are caused where the floor tile meets the shower pan.
I doubt that it is the tile assembly itself moving independent of the floor but that would have to be verified.
