The surprised tone, sharing this indicates that there hadn’t already been a conversation about the silence in the house. They could have talked about it every day of those four months, but it doesn’t read like that to me
Yeah, it’s the tweeter’s surprised tone that I find relevant, not the roommates. The tweeter knows she’s depressed, the roommate knows it, but (I suspect) if the roommate had inquired about mental health due to lack of singing, the tweeter would not have been so surprised that her roommate was relieved she was singing.

They just wanted to know why they said “thank goodness” lol. It doesn’t speak for itself
Well yeah, but if there’d already been conversations about it, it would be less surprising that the roommate was excited to see a sign it was gone
Speaking as someone with depression, we don’t typically assume an exclamation of pleasant surprise is pointed at us.
Speaking as someone with depression, when my roommate sees me cleaning and gets happy, I know why.
