How did Noah hear his son "while he was in isolation"? And does this indicate the existence of advanced technologies and sciences that enabled him to do so?

The exegetes differed regarding the meaning of the isolation mentioned in the story of Noah's son. Some interpreted it as his not boarding the ark, while others explained it as the son's defiance of Noah in religion and disbelief. That is, he was isolated from the believers, either because he did not believe in the flood or because he apostatized and denied its occurrence.
