Yeah...for the most part. I think it has something to do with the eating habits over here, the extra water helps keep the toilets clean after certain people use them. Even then it doesn't always help. I once had to clean the toilets in the women's room and one of them had actually completely blocked the flow of water, then solidified underneath, so we ultimately had to dump a bottle of ammonia on it to dissolve it.
Even with high water levels I still never found it that difficult to hit above the mark. Even when piss (hurr hurr) drunk.

If you think the standard american toilet is bad, you should check out some of the relics you can find in older institutional buildings like schools or airports. Those things are designed with preventing clogs in mind, not saving water. Flushing one of those bad boys sounds like unleashing a howling maelstrom from which nothing could hope to escape.

Re: Loud toilets
Retirement homes. First time I used one whilst visiting my grandmother, I literally jumped off the toilet for fear of being sucked in.

Can any of the US forumites confirm this?

not at all! There is plenty of rim room for stealthful urination. I think most men are just too lazy to learn proper marksmanship.
I think this is a good time to quote wikipedia:
--- Quote ---Some urinals for men incorporate fly targets: images of flies that are either printed on labels stuck to the inside of the urinal or embossed directly into the porcelain. Men often feel a compulsion to aim their urine stream at the fly, and thus the fly target helps prevent men from urinating outside the basin or bowl of the urinal. Maintenance crews at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam reported in 2005 that adding a fly target to urinals reduced bathroom cleaning costs by giving men something to aim at. The urinals at terminal 4 of John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City have a fly target in the urinals. These are replaced every month because they slide off.

Man, I bet you there's a barracks or prison somewhere out there with a toilet so powerful that it just gives you the equivalent of a Brazilian wax if you're foolish enough to remain seated while flushing.
