Noisy hotel sex. Why?

Why do people have such noisy sex in hotels? I have just got home from a wedding yesterday, after which I stayed in a hotel. The couple in the next room had vocal sex at 2am and again at 8am. Proper shrieks and moans and grunts and words that I could hear through the wall from both of them, for a good half an hour both times.

Have your fun by all means. But why make so much noise?? I know hotel rooms are private but hotels aren't, especially not in the middle of the night.

AIBU to think it's no less selfish (and quite a bit more unreasonable) than keeping other guests up with music or any other noise. It's not the first time I've been kept awake like this.

Isn't that kind of the point of hotels? Freed from looking at the clothes pile and the dog bowls.

Why have noisy sex in a hotel room? Where else would have it? At home with the kids?

You know that people don't really care these days OP?
I know a quite a few people who go away to get some time with their partner.

I'm old so I'm less noisy these days but I have relatives who are not!

If just clap at the end tbh.

Mostly because some of us cant have noisy sex at home and hotels are places we don't realky care who hears us and noisy sex is fun, A different fun than the quiet type and nice for a change. You did ask. Possibly it is a bit selfish and so what?

Hotels can be noisy for all sorts of reasons l. I never stay in a hotel without good quality ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones

You should have complained at reception the first time as, at the least, you might have had a case for a room change or refund.

They are perhaps having a night off from the kids.

Maybe other people in the hotel are too! I wouldn't play music really loudly in a hotel room at night so why would anyone scream the house down during sex? By all means have sex, just do it quietly!
