I got used to slow-closing toilet lids at home. It’s become a habit to get the lid moving down with a little flick of the wrist. Not too hard, but not nothing either. I recently stayed in a hotel room where the bathroom didn’t have this feature… When out of pure habit, half asleep and barely even realizing that I was closing the lid, I used my familiar flick of the wrist, the heavy, solid lid flew down like a bolt of lightning and slammed hard against the toilet seat. There amongst all of the acoustically reflective surfaces of the hotel bathroom the noise was so loud it actually made my ears ring. It was lucky that I had just relieved myself because had I still had any shit left in me, the surprise might have scared it right out.
I’d also add a slow closing toilet lid. Never slam it again.

Ha I have this exact same problem. I also do it when visiting other people’s houses. It’s always so loud!
Yes! Slow close lids are essential if sharing a home with anyone else.
