Workers at my place of employment are currently installing a speaker in the men’s bathroom. I assume they are doing the same in the women’s bathroom.

No doubt it’s for the PA system, but after seeing this I had a good snicker when I imagined them instead using these speakers to play men’s room sounds in the ladies room, and vice versa.

Do men’s room sounds differ a whole lot from ladies room sounds? I would assume you would hear a lot of pissing, farting, plopping, flushing, washing, drying, in both places.
