> everyone else is simply bloody loud, they generally don't care about how loud they are when they're eating, shutting doors or chatting to someone Except for the toilet noise you mentioned. Every person I talked to about this is worried about his/her toilet sounds. Just check how often you'll hear noises from an occupied stall when you're in a public restroom. In Japan toilets even have noise makers integrated or people carry noise makers to overplay their own sounds. Whenever I find myself in this situation I remind myself that I'm on a toilet and it was built for that purpose.
