Are you the type of person who would rather hold it in than make potentially embarrassing sounds in the prescence of fellow restroom patrons while on can? In the name of common courtesy Japanese company INAX has a flushing sound effect speaker that maintains your dignity and saves water too!
Japanese toilet culture is at the forefront when it comes to gadgets and things to make your visit as comfortable as possible. Everybody knows about the “Washlet” toilet seats in many public restrooms, the infra-red activated hand soap and water (and dryer!) basins and cleanliness that is above average in many places. But what about when you’re actually sitting down and need to expel ASAP which could result in an embarrassing explosive sound? INAX have their toilet flush imitative sound device to put your mind at ease and keep your dignity intact. The flushing sound effect lasts for 20 seconds, a length of time that INAX engineers spent considerable time testing to see just how long the sound effect duration should be to make it adequate… if you require longer than 20 seconds please consult your doctor!

There’s an ecologically sound benefit to this gadget as well. Instead of flushing the actual toilet every time you want to maintain privacy levels, this device helps save the environment while allowing users to expel in comfort no matter how many people are lined up just outside the cubicle door. This toilet flush sound effect device is in Mr Donuts in Minoo, Osaka.
