How loud is it to cover up the sound of people using the bathroom? Also the FAQ says it produces "sound cancelling sounds", but also has no microphone. Don't you need a microphone to produce the inverse wave and cancel out sound? Or is this using some other kind of "sound cancelling sound" technology?



Maybe it's not "Active Noise Cancelling" but it's "White noise louder than the brown noise". Still useful though.


next black mirror episode will be someone screaming for help as they are trapped in the bathroom while their anti-brown-noise device drowns out their pleas and they are left to die in there


I would just have a boombox ready to play Sabotage by the Beastie Boys whenever I go


HASS, Roon, a PIR, and Ride of the Valkyries… :s/would//


I prefer So Spoke Zarathustra during my morning constitutional.


I mean if it's configured to drown me out when I'm having digestive troubles, I think they might need to adjust the bit in the Q&A about it not disturbing my sleeping partner


It seems to have a clock so it doesn't turn on at night?


Correct.
