      I guess my point was that consuming bandwidth to stream white noise from a phone that’s on for other reasons is a rather efficient use of resources. My assumption was that using running water wouldn’t be the retort because A) it’s more valuable than electricity & B) there’s a pump involved somewhere in the process. I assumed wrong, but we played the game & no harm was done.

        You could have water run out of one bucket into another. Just swap the buckets when the upper one is empty. It functions as a clock also if you keep track of how many times you swap the buckets.
