Ditto Cantrellpets. Most pet birds love the sound of waters splashing. The bird does not know whether the pet owner is urinating or not it just hears a trickling of water.
Ditto Tammy Whammy, also. A pet bird needs 1 place to be it's territory, that's where the cage is set up. Course they should come out of their cage. Try to stay on a schedule time wise. All pets learn best when given a clear schedule of exercise time (for birds coming out off cage, ferrets, too, dogs the am & pm walks) The bird needs to go back in its cage before the sun goes down.
This may seem like a long answer, but your question is worrisome. It sounds as though either the parakeet is not your pet. Whether it is or not, you have no idea how to care for a pet. Go play with a basketball, iPod or something else inanimate so you won't hurt someones pet bird.
Please keep your pet birds in a cage in 1 place in your house, away from drafts & cover the cage at night with a cloth big enough to cover if not all most of the cage ( clean beach towel or old table cloth)
Kids please let them rest during the day, as well as, when the sun goes down.

LOL! Funny but easy to answer. Birds are hardwired to listen for the sound of water. Many parrots get excited when they hear the vacuum cleaner for that very same reason. It sounds like a waterfall. When you tinkle, they think it's a waterfall, and want to bath. You can move the cage, or maybe close the door. That should stop the Tinkle Freaks, LOL!!

Do they chirp wildly all the time?
If not, it's possible they just want a shower. Budgies don't like baths, but they do like standing under a drip and having a shower. They have no idea what peeing is, so it's likely they just think it's water and want to play in it.
If you like, you could try putting one near a dripping tap and seeing if they do anything with it, to test this theory. However, I would advise against peeing on them.

I think they like the sound of running water. We have a parakeet that starts chirping whenever we turn on the faucet in the kitchen.

Please tell me that you don't keep your birds in the bathroom!!! lol. Parakeets chirp madly at whatever sound they enjoy hearing - whenever reruns of Andy Griffinth would come on, they would go nuts over the whistling theme song. Yours apparently is tickled pink of the idea of running water!

Might sound silly, but it sounds like they like the sound of splashing water. Have you tried turning on the faucet in the sink with a small dish under where the water would hit the sink? It makes the same nosie and your keets would problly enjoy splashing around in the sink.

because you need to either take the parakeets out of the bathroom, or quit peeing in the living room.

You know, the two sounds are kind of alike. Both are high pitched, rapid, bell-like sounds. Hmm.
