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?

Sorry, sammi but 'get a room -' does not just mean visually. Put a sock in it until you can put up some soundproofing or move. The world doesn't actually want to hear you getting laid.

Well first I'm def not a shouter or screamer so I'm not in the same category as the OPs neighbours.

We pay rent like everyone else and we should be able to enjoy ourselves in our own home. Next doors tv is probably louder. And tbh in our case the guy next door is such a grump I don't care if our headboard keeps him awake all hours of the night. He actually complained to the housing trust he could see my gstrings and my boyfriends silk boxers on our washing line !!

Well aren't you a delight Sammi.

It is continuing. Sat in garden after work for family tea and loud grunts, really loud, coming from their bedroom. My other ndns heard them too. Yes, of course you can do what you like in your own home, but I do think you can moderate such vigorous noises. This time my ds and his teenage friends just started laughing along with neighbours.

Silk boxers - didn't they stop selling them in the 80s? Confused

We heard the girl next door screaming even though she was in the front bedroom & we were in back garden. Pregnancy seemed to fix it for us just a few weeks later!

Grin at silk boxers! Are you dating Patrick Bateman?

I once thought I could hear my neighbours where I used to live shagging for a whole day, i could hear them in.the bathroom at it and it sounded like every room of the house, couldn't believe it, turned out the woman was in hideous labour that lasted three days. Poor lass.
Lovely baby was born eventually though.

Tell your bf it ain't 1969 no more. Hmm

Play Sex Dwarf by Soft Cell very loud every time they do it. Nothing like the old classics.

I'd mention it when introducing yourself, whether that's in person or via a card through the letter box. Not "I can hear you having sex" but asking how they've settled in etc..if they've noticed how thin the walls are. I'd go for the "oh yeah!!! We can hear everything, always have been able to. It's such a pain" "we haven't disturbed you have we?" She'll probably die of shame inside and bare it in mind when howling next

I walked home from the pub late the other week. Down a usually calm and peaceful road was a house with all the windows wide open and someone making the most ridiculous sex noises for not just next door but the whole street to hear. Enjoy yourself but ffs that's going too far

You have my sympathies, we have a next door neighbour who i

Oops, prematurely finished there - not an issue for my neighbour who frequently groans on loudly for hours at a time, sometimes more than once a day, I don't know how she has the energy. It goes on so long I have sometimes wondered if she making bad porn rather than watching it. I haven't worked out whether it's my middle aged neighbour or her twenty-something daughter and I've never said anything (we live in a Victorian terrace, the walls are thick!). Depending on my mood it either annoys, bores or impresses me.

People still wear g strings and silk boxers?

Your Boots bill must be huge.
