To not want to hear my neighbours shag!

[Treesandbees]

We live in a Victorian terrace. On the whole we don't hear our neighbours often except every few nights at 2am when they shag loudly for 1-2 hours. I'm 20 weeks pregnant with a 19mo DS. I'm fed up of being woken up and then kept up for ages! She's so bloody loud I want to shout 'it can't be that good!!!'

Really need my sleep. How would you deal with this? Can't wear ear plugs as won't hear DS if he wakes in the night and not sure it would block it out! Tempted to mention it to the landlord as its a shared 'young professional' house.

Could you slip a note under their door explaining that you're glad they are very much in love but could they please keep it down as its waking you up.

1 - 2 HOURS?! Dear god I'd die of boredom after 15 minutes.

we used to hear our old neighbours - he was a screamer as well as her...

we mentioned it to a mutual friend and after that - didnt hear them ever again

I know!! When it seems to be over and I start drifting off it starts up again!! I'm considering the note option but not convinced they would see it as they never see their parcel delivery cards!

If you can hear them, they can hear you.

Applause is the social nicety, I believe?

1. Record a dog howling mournfully.
2. Play it back on the other side of the wall during said conjugal activities.

This one seems to come up every month or two. On one thread somebody suggested playing Andrew Lloyd Webber's music close to the partition wall because it is impossible sustain an erection with that rubbish in the background - I don't know, I've never tried.

Or cheer when they finally get there.

Enthusiastic neighbours you've got - I'm impressed!

1-2 hours
You could put a note through the door saying please keep the noise down in the middle of the night.

1-2 hours? Have they nothing better to do with their time?

A round of applause would be sufficient I imagine if you can muster up the enthusiasm at that hour.

Have they nothing better to do with their time?

Apparently not - and lucky old them!

Waiting for the suggestion of changing your wifi name to 'my neighbours are noisy 2am shaggers' or similar

I'm looking in to getting the adjoining upstairs walls soundproofed. Or sound blocked. There's some kind of board you can fit, and put rock wool under your floor boards. I'm going to get quotes. No idea how much it costs.

I hear coughing all night long.

1-2 hours?
Bastards!

Well they can probably hear your toddler at all hours as well. And will hear your baby when he/she arrives.

The downside to living in a terrace.

Change your WiFi network name to 'WeCanHearYouShaggingYouKnow'

Captain

Always one , isn't there? ;)

We had this. We could hear the exact instructions Paul* was getting and as things progressed the pants and eventually the screaming. After a week we joined in with the screaming, mainly out of frustration as their sex life was clearly superior to ours.

It stopped.

*not his real name.

Stick the note to their front door. They can't miss it then

1-2 hours?! I would be bored out of my mind!

If DH lasted that long we wouldn't have sex very often.

1-2 hours? They must have lube!

Absolutly Cheer and clap when she is in her final death throes !

I can hear my neighbours saying 'they're off for a poo'. No sex noises though!

I had this problem. Although it was him, who sounded like a cheap porn actor. "Yeah, yeah. I'm cumming, I'm cumming! Ooh. Fuck! Fuck!"
I called a police couple of times, then it stopped.

Make a big sign saying we can hear you shagging and tape it to their living room window, inwards facing.
