You too? I have no peace in the potty either. I feel for ya:sad:
But here's fun facts:
ok, so when my brother was little, (he's 32 now) he used to hum in the bathroom, so whenever we heard him humming, we knew he was pooping.
Today he STILL HUMS. So we have: My SIL with her IBS and my brother with his humming, and my 4 year old nephew with yelling of "did you hear that splash?" and "wipe my butt"
oh, and let's not forget the new addition, miss poppie pants queen, the 4 month old niece. Today, she had a full out diaper explosion .. on me. That's a diet aid if there ever was one.
oh me? well, I am the silencer. I am a dark-ninja-invisible-stealth-pooper. (when house is void of people haha)
The one about the toilet paper in bowl before doing your business, it works well. Running faucet, that works too!

Happy potty time to you 🙂
Your post was very funny too! I now find myself day dreaming (when on the toilet) of having a custom made bathroom (sound proof of course).
My brother runs the faucet when he poops but it wastes water. Me and my parents are pretty much used to each other's personal noises. My dad farts indiscreetly in front of us. Just be glad you're not living in an apartment because apartment is even worse; your neighbors can hear you poop, fart, urinate, etc, whether you live upstairs or downstairs. When I used to live in the apartments, my neighbors would make fun of my brother because of the noises that he makes in the bathroom.
Do what I do and run the faucet during. I grew up in a house of thin walls. Hearing other people do that is just as gross as knowing people can hear you, lol.
I used to be very self-conscience of people hearing me do this, especially when I was in school and was entirely unable to even speak to anyone, but over time I have become more and more apathetic, so I just think "F*#k them!" and just go about the entirely natural bodily process.
Put some toilet paper in the toilet bowl before you crap. Bingo. No sound, and better yet, no splash-back with water hitting your behind.
You are welcome.
I wipe the seat with toilet paper before I sit down, I use extra to wipe so it is sufficient to block a large area of water as I hate splash-back, I have been doing this for years, ever since I the first time I sat on areas of the seat with urine. Then again, I used to have to go outside, in a trashcan and in the toilet of an old houseboat in the woods near the house we were squatting in years ago; even now I have to employ this method when I go, since I am unable to use the toilet in my parent's home (It does not work.). All in all, best toilet lesson besides making sure the seat is infact down, as a young child I fell in a few times and that was disgusting.

Oh I always wipe the seat first. I even put down toilet paper to sit on. I've always done this in public washrooms. But one day I sat down on a greasy toilet seat when my dad needed some sort of rash cream.:omg: Ever since then I've been covering the seat at home too.

I thought I was the only one! I do that as well. I'm a bit of a germaphobe - but better to be safe than sorry!
*I had a hard time going to bathroom when we visit national parks or on road trips and have to use public restrooms or even when I have to go into a casino(ie: when I go to movies and theater is located inside a casino) and use the restroom - they are filled with pestilence and too many people use them and are not sanitary*
Thinking about it, on a serious note, I sit towards the edge of the toilet and yes it is a bit uncomfortable, but helps with less noise as while doing your business, it doesn't have 'far to travel' .... hope that makes sense.

I do not sit on the toilet paper, just very thouroughly wipe the seat and conduct my business with peace of mind. I just stopped caring if people hear it, if they have a problem with it, oh well, it is a natural bodily process (Not like they have to watch it on toilet cam.), but the toilet paper on the surface of the water is a must, splashback is just nasty to think about, let alone feel the cold, dirty water.
if its not already been suggested? you could try cranking up some loud chaotic music in a nearby room or stick the tv on, they'd be more distracted by the sound of that.
I know what you mean though, I can't go with other people around.
