Flushing sounds cover up bathroom noises
I missed this the other day on Engadget, but picked it up this morning on mocoblog. It's an amusing post on the “Shinobu-chan” ringer from Japan's “Scoop Music”, which uh, "enables women to cover up embarrassing sounds made in the bathroom".
"Assuming your handset is powerful enough, the Shinobu-chan ringer can make “flushing sounds” of up to 100 decibels for as long as 32 seconds. According to Scoop Music, “some women flush two or even three times to cover up embarrassing sounds made while on the can.”
