An electronics company has developed a smart device that cancels embarrassing toilet noises.
Well, Japan is known as the most polite nation on Earth, and that extreme politeness extends to all aspects of life, including bathroom etiquette.
Many public toilets feature a wall-mounted device that, when pressed, creates a sound that masks that of urination. However, electronics company Roland has come up with an improved version that drowns out embarrassing bathroom noises completely.
Before the technology boom of the 1980s, toilet users would either flush the toilet or turn on a sink to mask the sounds they made when relieving themselves.
However, as this was a needless waste of water, a more eco-friendly solution was sought, and thus the concept of the toilet sound generator was born.
