To think that my neighbour complaining about our noisy sex is over-reacting.

He lives in the house next door to us and every time we make love he starts banging on the wall. We're not that noisy and try to keep it down. My sweetheart thinks he's jealous. Anyway, the police came to interview us yesterday because our neighbour had reported us for breaking noise laws. The worst part though was that he had made tapes of us and given them to the police who insisted on playing them to us. The trouble is the walls are paper thin and the police suggested if we can't control our sound levels if would be considerate if we didn't do it late at night. I'm sorry, but I kind of resent being told by the police when and when I cannot have sexual intercourse, and I'm also freaked out that someone is taping me having sex. I'm sure it's illegal to record someone without their consent but the police said it's ok if they record sounds that are coming into their house. In my view it's harrassment, it's not like we're blasting out loud music in the middle of the night. Has anyone else had problems with neighbours reporting them to the police? I would appreciate it if someone could tell me where we stand legally.

That will explain it. RosemaryWoodhouse might do with a remainder too.
