To ask what the etiquette is when you can hear your neighbours shagging loudly through the walls?

[Gobbolinothewitchscat]

We live in a semi-detached house with very naice neighbours in a quiet street

They moved in about a year ago and we've had various drinks etc with them, take in parcels, get on well etc. However, we have a slight problem in that we have recently started to hear them shagging loudly through the wall.

On average, I would say that we hear them about three times a week. Only the wife and not just a little bit of noise but a LOT won't go into details for obvious reasons

It all probably seems quite funny but it's actually not, really. I am probably being incredibly precious but my 11 month old's room also shares the adjoining wall and we can hear noises in her bedroom - although not as badly as in ours - and I would really prefer for her not to be party to all of this. . In our room, we have to have the TV (yes, we are chavs) turned up to about 50 to try and drown it out, which is nearly deafening.

How do we approach this? Can we? The neighbours always appear a bit prim so the whole thing is potentially mortifying.

We live in a Victorian terrace and the walls are ridiculously thin. We can hear our neighbours on both sides talking and even switching lights on ffs.

Unfortunately we know they can hear us as we can hear them. There's not much you can do really if its 'normal' noises, who wants to have sex in silence?

I can hear my neighbour playing the piano.

I'd rather hear shagging to be honest, that creepy piano music all bloody day freaks me out.

Exactly myleftfoot.

On a similar thread a poster suggested putting a loudspeaker near the wall playing Andrew Lloyd Webber, that being incompatible with maintaining an erection. I don't guarantee the truth of that because I loatherbALW for other reasons

• loathe ALW damn it (and damn him too)

My neighbours shag very loudly which in itself wouldn't be a problem, each to their own and all that, but not at four in the morning three times a week. That just takes the piss.

I'd put some music on when they finish really loudly next to the wall.

Something like Ride Of The Valkyries or Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen.

Every time they shag put it on?

ALW !! [GRIN]

Stupid smileys.

Actually it's got to be Meatloaf and Paradise by the Dashboard light hasn't it?

Bang on the wall out of time to put them off their stroke

Evil lot on this thread aren't we?

Ignore or get some soundproofing on the wall

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA

CRYING AT THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD

I remember someone suggesting shouting " finish him " in the style of Mortal Kombat

I can always hear my neighbours husband farting it's horrible!

I need to laugh a bit longer before I can offer any sensible solutions, sorry.

I would let them know. I'd send a text or write a note.

Dear neighbours

I don't think you realise but we can hear you quite clearly when you are in your bedroom. Obviously it's a bit awkward but we thought it better to let you know. We would really appreciate it if you could do something so that we can't hear this noise in future

Thanks

I lived in a little flat in London and, every morning whilst eating my weetabix, I would hear a female neighbour having the most vocal orgasm.

if I'm honest, it slightly turned me on

I would put something on my wifi signal, Icanhearyoushaggingno42

Further to what Grayhound said I'll share this story.

I was friends with two young guys who shared a flat. One chap brought a lady home one night, the other friend went to bed alone. Later he was woken by rhythmic banging and this got him turned on so he 'enjoyed some of his own company'.
The next morning the lady did not appear from the friends room. It seems she went home with her virtue intact and the jilted chap had taken the free time to put a load of washing on. It seems that my friend had knocked one out to the washing machine.

We went camping with a couple we were friends with and they were obviously trying to be very quiet and discreet in their tent which was right next to us. We didn't hear any moaning or screaming but there was a comically loud rhythymic slapping sound during the night and then again in the morning.

We decided not to say anything though.

I can hear my neighbours shagging.

He shouts kowabunga when he finishes.

It gives me a chuckle.

I used to have sex, once upon a time

In your situation op, I'd do something totally ineffectual like cough loudly. Maybe you could fire up the vacuum cleaner straight after, to demonstrate the thinness of the walls. If that fails, do as others have suggested and move house.
