How much privacy does this really give? You're still announcing to the world, 'hey everyone I am taking a shit!' because the music is only playing when someone's in the bathroom. It seems like you'd want music constantly playing outside the bathroom if you want to actual privacy.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I mean if it's configured to drown me out when I'm having digestive troubles, I think they might need to adjust the bit in the Q&A about it not disturbing my sleeping partner

It seems to have a clock so it doesn't turn on at night?

Correct.

I love, love, love that you shipped. It looks great and I'm tempted purely to support you and see what it's like. But I gotta ask: how much **** noise are you lot making in the toilet? What on earth are you all doing in there...!?

I may look Swedish but my intestinal tract was inherited from my Middle Eastern father. lol.

Add to basket purely on the basis of that reply :-)

It's not a device that I personally am interested in having, but I am both interested in, and very impressed with, your having made it - well done! I'd love to read a full write up of how you designed it, what parts you used / how you designed, prototyped, and built any custom parts, etc. I know that's a big ask, so wouldn't expect you to do it just for me, but in case writing that were something you've been consider…

Will try to find time for it. Thanks!

Feel free to mail me if you'd either like an interested proofreader, or an editor / partial ghost writer (free, haven't done that sort of thing professionally for many years).

If someone is in the grips of this obscure neurosis, why wouldn't they just use their phone as a sound source?

I could imagine that part of the desire is to make music the default for everyone, no matter what they're doing. Otherwise the person suffering from the embarrassment is going to think "if I turn on my music, they'll know I'm making noises in here."

What embarrassment? Are people going like 'haha SamBam took a shit, what a fucking loser' where you live?
