A few years ago someone figured out that Japanese women were wasting water. In public facilities they flushed while they did their business to cover up the sounds. Then, of course, they flushed again.
So, this innovative person created the flushing sound recording that you can play if you're feeling bashful. Now technology has improved so that these units often include movement sensors. So, you might just be hanging your bag on the back of the door or adjusting your clothes and suddenly the sound of flushing emanates from your very own speaker.
It can be disconcerting if you aren't ready for it. And as it is not in every toilet (not even in most), you usually aren't. This one was a Amlux yesterday.

That's hillarious!!
Thank you for sharing with us
No such modesty in China! A sound minimizer would be a plus!
At least it looks like there is an adequate paper supply. We carry our own here. Not always necessary, but often.
Too funny! Obviously Australian society is far less inhibited...
We carry tissues with us too, though it is mostly only more basic public toilets like train stations and parks that there is a lack.
