I wonder if there is some kind of noise or scent dispenser one could use as the spindle to dissuade this behavior.

Oh I get it underolled TP
Cat owner learning they shouldn't listen to reddit about the "correct" way to hang their toilet paper
What? You mean 'popular' is not the same as 'best' (or often not even 'good'; see 'trump') ? Un-possible!!
Also. Let's talk about weirdos who do not close their bio-waste disposal .
You mean "in the room a cat has access to"?
The cat has access to all the rooms. They can, and will, crawl under the doors of most houses.
What kind of tolerances do your doors have that cats can crawl under them?
¼" to ½" is all most cats need. They are surprisingly flexible
Since cat skulls are 1.5-2" in the smallest dimension, big X to doubt on this one. Unless your cat can deform it's skull like a squeaky toy

definitely more than 1/4"
Might be that we have more precise door builders than other parts of the world but from a German perspective that gap is huge and I don't think I have ever seen one that tall on regular internal doors (as opposed to e.g. outdoor shed doors or similar places where insulation is taken less seriously).
I'm in california in a shitty apartment and the door gap is the tip of my index finger to the first knuckle. Maybe 3/4"
It's called an undercut, most are 1" and are to allow for air movement.
My initial understanding was that it's the cat that really got to go but the human did shenanigans with the toilet paper
My 4yo did this the other day. Apparently we still have some potty training work to do...
My cats are 14 and one of the little assholes JUST learned how to do this. Sigh.
