I can hear the new neighbours kids running up and down the stairs all the bloody time.

This has provided some crucial information, namely that when DP and I have no holds sex when the house is empty I might as well put signs up declaring what we are up to GrinBlush.

How can I look them in the eye ever again?!

Lived in a new build like that years ago. Woman next door sneezed, I said Bless You. You could literally have a conversation though the walls. Don’t know what you can do about it though.

tower block here and I can hear people a few floors above having sex! My next door neighbour and his now ex used to have sex every Sunday at 5am and every bank holiday at 10pm. Their headboard bang bang. Man downstairs grunting like a pig and her oohhh aaahhhhh once a month

I used to think we had amazingly thick walls... until our neighbours moved and new ones moved in. Turns out the old ones were just really quiet.

We had been TTC for two years by that point... swiftly put some washing up sponges behind the headboard 😬

That's it exactly, the old neighbours must have crept around in nun-like silence all the time. I may lend them some ear-plugs!

We live in a row of 1920s single skin semi detached. We can hear full conversations next door but we're both busy families and respectful of that so it's never been an issue. However the otherside did hear their neighbour getting to know her kitchen fitter very well......
