AIBU to get annoyed with my neighbours having sex

[Julz1622]

Ok, I know, it's a natural thing, we all do it, but it's getting right on my nerves listening to the headboard banging off my wall constantly. Every night this week my baby has been woken up around 10pm as it is really loud! Surely they can put a cushion behind the headboard?? We live in a block of flats and it's that loud that the downstair neighbour (we are on the 3rd floor) is getting annoyed as well.

Have told this here before..
Years ago I lived in a block of flats. A girl from the year above me at school lived underneath. She was very very loud. We all knew when Keith was giving it to her hard..

One night the noise got louder and louder until it felt like our block was shaking!! It wasn't Keith and his golden balls, it was the police helicopter arriving with squad cars to arrest him for armed robbery!!
Days later they stripped their flat. Presumably of stuff bought with the cash (?) even took her ds's pram. Big huge one she left cluttering up the entrance way.
Made sense why it was never pinched with the local rougue living there!

Just bang the wall and tell them to stfu! oh and you don't need need to asterisk swear words here, it's annoying as fuck

My baby doesn't bang f*k out the wall so....and she doesn't cry unless she's hungry and she sleeps during the night...when she's not woken by ignorant f*kers next door that is. Comparing that to a baby smh

Lol I haven't posted before wasn't sure if swearing was allowed

Play loud 5ive megamix through the wall when they're shagging?

I'm jealous of your neighbours tbh wish I could have the opportunity to do it.

In all seriousness though a polite note through the door might help.

Ahh this takes me back to 20 years ago when my neighbour left her husband, got a new bloke and came home from the pub at 11 every sat. That's play dirty dancing and shag loudly till the early hours 😣

If I wasn't trying to get a baby to sleep I might lol

I had one many years ago, it was so often we got to know when he was about to ‘ahem finish. My Partner banged on the wall at the optimum to moment and shouted “ go on Charlie, your on the last leg my son” and lots of horse racing go on move yer arse stuff. They got the message, shut their windows and moved the bed slightly... or it gave him performance anxiety and ruined his sex life forever.

When I was little, my mum and dad let me and my brother have the master bedroom of our semi detached house. We were thrilled- so much more space. As I grew and needed a space of my own we all switched again and my parents went back to the master bed but had fitted wardrobes installed where their beds used to be. Turns out, all those years ago, my parents neighbours had politely advised my parents that they could hear them through the adjoining wall! I never knew the reason we got the big bedroom was because my parents had loud sex. Anyway, my point is that my parents and their neighbours gave been incredibly close for years. Just talk to them.

I would bang back while screaming for them to shut up. I have done that before. Do it! It will make you feel better.

You either put a note through the door, speak to them or carry on seething in silence.

Just brass it out, 'We're all delighted that you're having such a lovely time with each other, but would you mind putting a pillow behind your headboard? Thanks, love from all of your neighbours.'

We had this. A lot. Several things....

As above - shout ‘go on, you can do it!!!’ And ‘good work sunshine’ etc. Enthusiastically. Or shout scores.

Get YouTube on with a very loud Jane fonda type 1970s keep fit theme - ‘PUSH 2,3,4 and LUNGE 2,3,4 and THRUST 2,3,4 etc

Change your WiFi name to ‘flat 14, we can hear you having loud sex’ - every time they or anyone else finds picks up your WiFi name that’s what they’ll see.

Great post from Green. I once lived in a densely populated part of a city and had a flat that's windows were off an alley. One warm Summer night was woken to a woman moaning with increasing volume. She was sooo going to cum, she was cumming, oh, baby, I'm cumming. Finally a very camp voice rang out from a building across the alley 'Fucking cum already then shut up so we can all get some sleep.' Applause followed from one end of the alley to the next. Then silence.

@Mammatino That's bloody brilliant that is! 😂

Had a friend in a similar situation and she and a few neighbours took to going down and buzzing them persistently if they were noisy. It helped for a while but in the end they had to get the landlord involved who, it turned out, was the mother of the man. 🤣

You could shout through the wall hurry up and finish please, bound to put him off his stroke....

Did someone really compare screamingly loud headboard banging sex to a baby crying???
Un-fecking-believable

Swearing IS allowed, it's even on food threads!

I’ve had two neighbours who have loud sex, one a good few years ago and my current neighbour and both time’s it’s been the woman porn star faking her orgasms. I have a newborn baby now so they absolutely know how thin the walls are. I’m waiting for them to say something about baby crying in the night so I can say ‘yeah the walls are very thin you can hear everything can’t you’ but they haven’t.
It’s so hard, I’d never put a note through we just put up with it, it’s their house they can do what they want, it’s also gone from twice a week to twice a month now that the boyfriend has moved in 😂😂😂 so that’s a bit better.
I haven’t helped at all but I sympathise with you greatly

I live in a terraced house and a few years ago, neighbours THREE DOORS away could be heard in the summer with our windows open. She used to scream ridiculously loudly. And it was every bloody night. So the one night I leaned out my window and shouted "SHE'S FAKING IT!" My next door neighbour gave a whoop and we never heard them after that. They moved house soon after, they only lived there about a year.

It's horribly rude, and I'd suspect they know their inflicting their noise on neighbours but just don't give a shit. Honestly, I'd have to do something to retaliate. If not a note then at least a bang or two on the wall at a carefully calculated moment. (For all they know, your headboard could be banging on the wall, too.)

UGH. *they're inflicting.
