Sound proofing a Toilet

[Chiara’s slave]

I’ve heard them do that live. Their leader would make a decent stand up comic.

 

[Davy_S]

They have changed members a few times since Kitty Lux died, but they certainly present a good show live. George Hinchcliffe has semi retired.

Sit down.

Apparently Germans do

Have you been pee ping?

Have you been pee ping?

My aim is pretty good although there are times when my sock are damp…….sitting down is the best,even if your not German

I always do, at home and on the boat.

The Germans probably sit down to avoid splashback from their odd shaped pans.

It’s best

Although I have to comment that on a Nich 32 the we was too close to the mast or mast support it was very difficult to evacuate

I think it was a Nick 32 back in the ‘70s that was called Pinkaloo, because that’s what it was. There was a story or letter in YM at the time from someone who had chartered her and faced with the need to radio CG and to get se the ship’s name.

Ah, the sitzpinkler.

I tried to sound insulate the electric pump with cuts of closed cell foam. Completely useless.

On a serious note, sound proofing would be nearly impossible. You need thick dense material such as a couple of inches of concrete and airtight seals. Suspending the room inside with mounts with elastic properties helps with direct transmission instead of airborne.
Any gap will defeat the effect, about a 2% gap will let about 10% of the sound through, which being measured in dBs on a logarithmic scale would appear to be about half the original volume.
A sound curtain would be better, like a radio playing just outside the heads.

Pee on the side and not in the water

Don’t you mean OVER the side ?

Why is it a problem? Why is such concern made about everyone's natural necessity?
Is it an English thing?

I like the radio idea. Important to lighten the atmosphere , particularly for non sailors aboard.

Encourage other crew members to continue their conversations in a normal tone and not all stop to listen

Pump the water out of the toilet before you go....so it’s thwump sound instead of a splash
