NDN using vibrator every bloody 15 mins!

For the past 45 minutes I've been able to hear what sounds very much like a vibrator being used. It starts up buzzing for about 15 minutes, then stops for a bit, then starts again. Hmm I can't think what on earth else it might be.

I'm so glad NDN are getting their rocks off but it's late, and I am 7 months pregnant and struggle to sleep as it is without having to listen to buzzing half the night. I've never heard it before and oddly I can't hear any other (accompanying) sounds!

AIBU to bang on the wall and spoil their fun?!

Bloody hell, are your walls made of paper or something...? Grin

I'm pretty sure vibrators aren't THAT noisy to be heard through the wall?!
😂

Well you would think not, but what else could it be? Heard some variation in speed and everything. Wink

Our walls aren't the most soundproof I suppose, a row of mid terraced, old-ish houses. Just told DH and he thinks it's hilarious that I am awake listening to it!

But for 15 mins at a time? Shock

TiffanyAtBreakfast · 29/03/2016 02:09

I know, isn't it bizarre? They just finished another short burst. Enjoying the peace.

Ask if you can join in, it may help your mood.

Beeziekn33ze · 29/03/2016 02:21

Have you tried ear plugs?

Alisvolatpropiis · 29/03/2016 02:23

Awkward on so many levels!

Pivoine · 29/03/2016 02:32

How do you know it's a vibrator? Might it possibly be a lady shave?

Toadinthehole · 29/03/2016 02:34

Maybe your NDNs collect vintage vibrators and they're trying out their recently-purchased 1840 Boulton & Watt model with double-entry steam circular motion.

Fnarrr!

Could be an epilator.
They are scary and sometimes you need a 15 minute break to get up the courage for the next bit.

That.

Every. Bloody. Time.

OzzieFem · 29/03/2016 02:52

Battery operated hard skin debrider for feet? They make quite a bit of noise.

Daffodil90 · 29/03/2016 03:08

Electric breast pump?

The first one I tried was pretty noisy.

If not, they're obviously having a whale of a time!

BoboChic · 29/03/2016 03:15

There are tons of rechargeable gadgets that buzz these days - hand-held vacuums, Clarisonics, epilators...

snorzzzzz · 29/03/2016 03:18

I've been using an ancient (borrowed) handheld massager on my back tonight. I have to stop every 10 minutes as it starts to overheat.

It's not me, though. Honest!

Roddas · 29/03/2016 04:12

Might be a nebuliser?
Or a breast pump though.

giraffesCantReachTheirToes · 29/03/2016 05:40

Oh fuck if a nebuliser sounds like a vibratory through a wall then my neighbours must think I am on heat

WhattaMunter · 29/03/2016 06:03

Could be an iPhone which is on silent but vibrate? And someone is pestering her? Alarm going off and she's hitting snooze?

CakeThat · 29/03/2016 06:06

One of those little gadgets that shave the bobbles off woolly jumpers? Perhaps she can't sleep and is going through her wardrobe? Easter Grin

Klaptout · 29/03/2016 06:09

Bit of an unusual time for beauty treatments?
I'd guess at a mobile phone set on vibrate, Breast pump, nebuliser or the electric pump on a pressure sore mattress.
Giraffe, I had to tell my neighbours about my nebuliser as I was too embarrassed to use the bloody thing after DH suggested they would assume it was a vibrator.

DecaffCoffeeAndRollupsPlease · 29/03/2016 06:15

My new milk frother could be mistaken for vibrator noise. With all my insomnia driven hot drinks, my neighbours could think I am a right goer.

BettyBi0 · 29/03/2016 06:17

What kind of ages are the people next door?

3littlefrogs · 29/03/2016 06:35

Oh dear. I've got an epilator and a scholl thing to do my feet AND a foot spa that has a vibrate setting.

I am going to have to start using all of them in the kitchen extension (no adjoining wall).

StillYummy · 29/03/2016 06:45

Don't worry, if the walls are that thin when you have your baby, they will suffer too.
