New neighbours loud sex

They moved in on Saturday and last night as I was watching tv in my lounge I could hear her moaning and groans over my tv. I've never heard other neighbours in any other house having sex, even house sharing as a student. Thing is I don't like hearing her and she was SO loud. Obviously they can do what they want in their own house and maybe it was just a really good night for her! But if it continues should I mention we can hear them? I hate the idea of having people round and hearing them, it just feels ughhh. AIBU to feel like this?

Maybe start playing songs about sex really loudly when you hear them...

pictish · 08/08/2016 13:54

If it happens again stand next to the wall and play the recorder as an accompaniment...three blind mice or whatever. Pick up the pace when she does. She'll figure it out.

Little inspiration maybe just in case? Grin

Stare through their window disaproveingly until they stop

Add this to the passive aggressive playlist.

Rockingaround · 08/08/2016 14:04

Definitely whoop and cheer "get in there son" 😂 followed by a round of applause and "bravo". If I heard my neighbours do that after DH and I, I'd be mortified but hilarious too and would put a sock in it!

PepsiPenguins · 08/08/2016 14:11

saucy that's the sort of thing I was thinking

Along with

"What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man" after each scream Grin

Cherylene · 08/08/2016 14:12

SaucyJack Youtube added 'Abba - The Day Before You Came' to that Hmm Good unsubtle choice though Grin

There is always Bat out of Hell and Je t'aime to add to the playlist.

Sympathies...
We had someone who was 'a screamer!' I used to lie there waiting for her to finish so I could get some sleep 😆 (Maybe I was jealous!)

Do you get on with her? Could you make it a light hearted thing? "Good night last night was it" wink wink nudge nudge

Cel982 · 08/08/2016 14:28

Can you get hold of one of those 'ding-ding-ding-ding-sing' sound effects, like you get on a slot machine when someone has a really big win?

smearedinfood · 08/08/2016 14:34

Look. I'm really sorry we were noisy. We'll pipe down from now on.

Abominablebride · 08/08/2016 14:36

Love the notes Grin

Got to do the changing your wifi name to
'We can hear you having sex'

I think it defends on the objective "scale" of the noise.

If they're shrieking and hollering and thumping at the walls, then yes, completely unreasonable and would be tempting to find some way of letting the bloke know that shrieking and hollering is close to a cast iron guarantee of fakery).

If they are literally just moaning a bit at a volume and frequency consistent with sex and you just don't like hearing it then you need to get over it.

Loud noise at 3 in the morning is unreasonable regardless of its origin, but people are entitled to make some noise when they shag, and if the noise level is "reasonable for noise" and sleepable through, then your dislike of it is your problem.

OurBlanche · 08/08/2016 14:53

I have been that person, giving scores out of 10, round of applause, etc.

I was one of 10 flats and 6 houses... we all ended up catcalling, clapping... we knew who it was but they didn't care. I suspect he thought it was a great game.

Until a sleep deprived neighbour told the young lady as she left the house after a loud marathon that she liked her new haircut, "So brave to go from that lovely blonde to such a dark brown"

Oh the shouting, the screaming, the denials... Smile

Oh, and I have no idea if there ever really was a blonde... but I did admire the tactic!

flissfloss65 · 08/08/2016 16:18

Love the suggestions. My son has a saxophone so I could start playing that! I haven't met them yet but she really was incredibly loud. Way more than when I have lived in a shared house with lots of students. It is funny but really not something I want to hear so graphically. Will see how it pans out.

Bloody awful isn't it. I used to turn the speakers to their bedroom wall and blast out Salt & Peppers song 'push it'. Didn't seem to make any difference, they moved out not long afterwards, was glad about that.
