Apparatus for providing artificial sounds in the vicinity of a toilet and method thereof

Abstract

An apparatus is provided for providing artificial sounds in the vicinity of a toilet. It includes a housing attachable in the vicinity of a toilet and an electronic sound system which is contained within the housing and is activatable by a user of the toilet so as to block out the noise of eliminating. The sound system includes a speech processing microprocessor for providing an electronic signal representing a desired sound. A memory storage device is connected to the speech processing microprocessor for electronically storing a digital representation of the desired sound to be processed by the speech processing microprocessor. A counter is connected to the memory storage device. The counter has a clock for generating an address for the speech processing microprocessor. A variable resister is attached to the speech processing microprocessor for controlling a rate of the clock, and thereby controlling the quality of the desired sound. A switch is connected to the speech processing microprocessor for turning on the desired sound. An amplification system is connected to the speech processing microprocessor for amplifying the electronic signal. A power source provides the necessary power to the amplification system, speech processing microprocessor, memory storage device, and counter. A speaker system is connected to the amplification system for providing the desired sound being of a type so as to block out the noise of eliminating. Therefore, by engagement of the play switch at the desired time by the user, embarrassing sounds of eliminating can be minimized.
