My daughter refuses to use the big, tank less toilets that you find in public restrooms because she's scared of them. Never thought the noise level could be an issue in the origin of her fear but these things are loud when they go off and most are now motion activated so they trigger as soon as you get up.
This all makes more sense now, thanks to this kid for this, I've never realized how noise was different for kids.
The motion activated ones go off when you move a little, not when you stand up. I've had them go off twice while trying to go, then not go off when he was finally done. It is not pleasant to have a toilet flush under you.
If there is anything to hang it from, a long strip of toilet tissue, hung down in front of the sensor eye, generally prevents this effect of premature flushing.
