Abstract: We study the reflectivity of quantum black hole (BH) horizons using detailed balance and fluctuation-dissipation theorem, finding a universal flux reflectivity given by the Boltzmann factor

m a t h c a l R = e x p l e f t (- h b a r | o m e g a | o v e r k T_{m H} i g h t)

, where

o m e g a

is frequency in the horizon frame and

T_{m H}

is the Hawking temperature. This implies CP-symmetry (or

topology) of the extended BH spacetime. We then briefly discuss related physical implications: We predict echoes in the ringdown of Kerr BHs, but they do not exhibit ergoregion instability. The viscosity in the membrane paradigm is modified to

e t a = f r a c c^{3} 16 p i G a n h l e f t (h b a r | o m e g a | o v e r 4 k T_{m H} i g h t)

, only approaching General Relativistic value at high frequencies.
