Having an "executive bathroom" is at least 20% of the benefit of WFH. Under-appreciated in discussions about this.
And I shower during work hours.

#52> How else are you solving this problem? The tech companies I've worked at have started to build "gender neutral" bathrooms. They are a fully locked/enclosed rooms with sound proofing, i.e. no gaps at the bottom of the door. Sometimes you need to take a long session or maybe are not feeling great in the bathroom department (Probably TMI) and it's almost as good as WFH.
Wouldn't that be SFH?

#53Instead 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.
Great SaaS opportunity

#56Active noise cancellation would make for much more amusing how-to videos.
Active noise cancellation doesn't work with speakers in a room.

If I understand op well, the entire open space can hear what happens inside.
Imagine if every time some of your coworkers go in for a little pee pee, you hear "peeing, pooping, farting, chatter, moans and groans" at maximum volume.
You know what ? That sounds like a hella fun workplace. Don’t forget the gross spitting sound.

#58> I tried all existing solutions like the Sound Princess from Japan and other chinese crap on Amazon/Ali but they were not up to the task
Just how loud is your shit? Maybe just ask your coworkers to put on head phones.

#59I think the same use case is covered by a radio or speaker that simply plays 24/7 in there. This doesn't need to be a smart device, no motion detection is needed.
Or just wire a sound generator into the lighting circuit.
