 Tribal Restroom Protocol

People's GI tracks are unpredictable, and when it's time to "GO" the embarrassment of letting nature take its course is something that many would rather not have to deal with - especially in a public restroom.

With a little help from a certified sound system, I propose having Australian Didgeridoo music piped thought the entire restroom at about 85dB sound level. This would essentially mask out all of nature's sounds and would allow people to doo their business with dignity - and contribute to the sound stage at the same time.

Entering the public restroom will now be a ritualistic-tribal event that brings the individual to a new state of self actualization.

       this is a terrific idea. what better way to symbolize the ritual of returning to mother earth that which we have taken from her. [+]

       no self respecting Aborigine would be alright with this methinks...

       You have no idea just how much I would appreciate this (+).   

       (Erk - me thinks me said to much...)

       If the frequencies were tuned and db level raised to a high enough energy, the resultant reverberations may be able to actually *assist* one in one's restroom activities.

       The brown noise!

       I have tried to play my didgeridoo in a restroom a few times. The acoustics are great, but I'm usually afraid to inhale. When it works, it's fairly funny. [+]

       Sometimes it's best if you didgeridon't.

       Tie me kangaroo down. Spurt.

       In Japan, women's bathrooms regularly have devices designed to simulate the sound of s continually flushing toilet, for much the same reason.

       Could one not use a recording of people crapping to spare the blushes of a didgeridoo player?
—MaxwellBuchanan, Feb 10 2007
   

       One can't help but think that [baconbrain] probably has some very interesting untold stories.

       I think [Maxwell] is on to something. If sounds of flatulence, defacation, farting and red-faced grunting were randomly played, you could happily make as much noise as you liked without embarassment because no one would be able to differentiate your sounds from the automatically-generated ones.

       Nice.

       It's abnormal.
It's original.		   

       It's aboriginal.   

       I will bun this one.. not so much because I am embarassed about the sounds I make but I really don't want to hear my next door neighbor groaning with every "movement" The other day I was in the public restroom where I heard, "PHLLLPUPUP Ohhh.... PHLAMAPLAPPA Whooooh.. yeah FFFFFSPLAPAPAPA ...hurrrrrrrr. ..ahhhhHHHH BLUBUBA SPABA BABBA..." I had to leave the room.
—Jscotty, Feb 13 2007
   

       You were in the same room? That's gross.
—Texticle, Feb 13 2007
   

       Really loud tribal music in the bathroom to incite more halfbaked ideas, eh? Guess it couldn't hurt!
—quantum_flux, Feb 14 2007
   

       Oh God YES! [hippo]: "red-faced grunting..." I actually alter my eating habit three days before long car trips to avoid public restrooms and the faceless embarassment I'm sure to visit on myself should there be an unintended -ahem- sounding of horns. Bun.
