Why it is that public (multi-person) rest rooms are almost never
equipped with some sort of Muzak-style filler noise?
One would think that by the time we reached the 21st century someone
would have figured out that it’s actually desirable to have some kind of
noise to mask the various splashes, plops, hisses, and passages of wind that
make people feel self-conscious in a public bathroom. Not to mention the
benefit to the large numbers of men who suffer from “bashful bladder”.
Why is it that no interior designer or architect has ever come up with
and codified this incredibly basic solution?
