I question the ability to actually undo the sounds.

That's silly. Wanting privacy during our most vulnerable moments is deeply ingrained into our psyche, all the way down to our lizard brains. This is a very real and very legitimate problem to be solved. Surely, you must feel perfectly comfortable walking around naked, having people watch you defecate, or having sex in public? After all, it's part of life!
I honestly don't give a shit if someone knows I'm taking a shit.
> but the problem with that is: when you manually play music in there you indicate you are going to do something embarrassing! I'm honestly not sure how big of a problem that is. What else would you go to the bathroom for, then pee or poop?
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.

Won't reply to all the strawmen at the bottom of your post, but I and lots of people don't care what people HEAR while we're using the bathroom.... its a bathroom for god's sake! Everything happening in there is normal and I'm not sure why you are imagining yourself to be "vulnerable" inside a locked private room.
Instead of white-noise or music, why not play the sounds of people using the bathroom? You know like, peeing, pooping, farting, chatter, moans and groans. This way our own noises become indiscernible from the background noise.
What if it's the other way around?
