Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't the white noise near the source mostly just affect the perception of sounds for the person in the toilet, and less so for the people outside?
Kind of like if you're doing the dishes and have the water running, people can hear you just fine, but you can't hear anything that's said to you.
I know in psychologists' offices they often have the white noise device in the waiting room for this reason.
- pandemicsoul 5y agoThat was my first thought! The concept works fine for a bathroom with multiple people if they're all trying to go at once. But if you're using this at home, the best place for it is actually outside the single-user bathroom.
- testmasterflex 5y agoIt does block all sounds and it's not very loud either. It's actually a waterfall sound I recorded on a vacation. We have been using it for 3 years now and you can now relax in our office bathroom. Sometimes I remove the unit for testing stuff and people get very annoyed, haha.

- adamomada 5y agoThey might think you’re doing a J in there
- emaginniss 5y agoIt would be better if the device played the sound of someone aggressively having diarrhea. Then, the people outside wouldn't know if it were the person or the device.
- nonrandomstring 5y agoRing modulation is the best effect for this.
- kodah 5y agoDoesn't that just change the distribution requirements of the device? Basically, stick one in each stall. Non-sequitur: I am really disappointed that I have not seen a brown noise joke on these threads yet.
- nr2x 5y agoWhy not autotune? Sure, it's farts and shit sounds, but at least you could make it more melodious.
