#34Even when I live with others, we aren't worried about bathroom noise.
I guess if you have a habit of talking to yourself while using the bathroom or showering and need to drown it out this is cool.
However, I'd love this as a general device. I get home and it auto plays music , etc

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
I’ve heard the same. I expected the product to be a speaker to mount on the top of the door to play music on both sides of it, or something.
Enters the bathroom. The speaker starts blasting “Eye of the Tiger” into the foyer.

#36So, I'll start by saying I love that you have made a thing and shipped. That's great, and the following is intended to be helpful. I read this and understand what it is. I then went to the site and it says bathroom privacy, tells me it's version two etc. What on earth is it!

#38Everybody shits, farts, burps... device or no device. I´d say those who feel the need for a device like this are guilty by association of farting and burping even louder than average, why otherwise get something to mask their clearly obnoxious and dare I say noxious emanations in the privy?

#39Now every digital radio I ever had is worse in terms of the simplicity of the interface. A radio like this one simply asks two questions: (1) How loud? (2) Should it be something else?
And this is your direct competitor. Your devices interface looks more complicated than that so getting people to grok it is motion activated is probably the key piece of information you need to deliver. The weather and time is a nice touch, but may be a thing most people don't need/want while driving the price up.
If we go to the question style of object-human interaction let me impersonate your device from the perspective of a guest:
O: Oh hi, it looks like you plan to shit, here is some music you didn't ask for [plays music]
H: Thsts weird I want to switch you off
O: Let's play a game where you need to find which of my 12 button-look-alikes switch me off, oh and by the way did I tell you I am battery powered?
(This is ofc humourous exaggeration, but there is some truth in there)
