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.

My neighbour used to have really loud sex with her husband when her daughters were little (oldest dd is a year younger than my ds) and if we could hear them then the girls could. It was awful, she would tell him he was the best. It all changed when her DH moved out and her boyfriend moved in - I haven't heard her since!

I have thought about having a polite word, but how do you say that without sounding like a bch

I don't see why you would sound like a bitch? You can just say "Sorry, you may not realise, but sound in these flats travels really easily. Would you mind moving your bed away from the wall?" If you don't want to go into detail, you could just say it bangs when people get in.

@whatersername77. How did you find out about your parents. Did someone tell you.

Perfect opportunity to narrate "OH YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. LET ME HEAR YOU SAY AHHHHHHHH! ENTHUSIASM PEOPLE!"
Rename your WiFi "nextdoorspoorattemptatporn",
"youbangtheheadboardharderthanher".
Speaker on full playing "Fuck her gently" by Tenacious D on repeat aimed at the wall.

They have a 14 year old girl living there too, it's the guys daughter 🙄

So if the neighbours can hear them having loud sex, she can too. disgusting.

I'd be tempted to put a note in saying "all your neighbours can hear you having loud sex so we know your daughter can too. Cop yourselves on or you'll be reported"

Yeas ago lived in a terraced house. NDN well it wasnt sex as we know it Jim but it was a LOT of giggles this woman made and irrating giggling noise so much so that my wife thumped on the wall and bawlled;

"JUST GIVE HER FUCKIN ONE AND GET IT OVER WITH!"

Quiet as church mice after that:)

Nothing wrong with a lady sounding as shes enjoying herself mind but there are limits methinks.

And overall just shows how piss poor acoustic isloation standards are in UK buildings:(

Many years ago I used to live in a flat and my living room was next to the bedroom of next door. It was really quite funny and fortunately I am a night owl and rarely go to bed before 1 am. Also my bedroom was at the other end of the flat so they were not keeping me awake.

At first I thought it was a hetro couple as this was the late 1960s but then I realised it was two young men.

In those days gay sex was still illegal so I felt obliged to have a descreet word with one of them in case anyone less liberal minded heard them and complained to the police. They were grateful for the heads up and we became quite good friends.

I would have a word with your neighbours slanted along the "do you know how thin the walls are and I am sure you would not want everyone to know your business" lines. They may simply not know how much noise they are making.

The only time this happened to me, I was staying in a hotel. A woman, FIVE doors doen was screaming at the top of her voice. Honestly the whole floor was shaking with screams.

Families and children were staying on the floor. I can sympathise to a point as I lnow that we lose control of our bodies and voices during sex, but they also need to think of people around them.

I went up to the door , banged on it and told them to keep it down for fuck sake. They did

Do their daughter a favour and write a note. Hopefully she can get some sleep

Write a note. Living in a block of flats they will never know who sent it

How awful! What you need to do is play ‘I just had sex’ by Akon at full volume every time they finish. In our old place we had noisy neighbours and we did this, worked a Treat! You can find the track on YouTube or Spotify.

Play the Thomas the Tank Engine theme song on repeat. Loudly. Bet that would kill the mood.

They have a 14 year old girl living there too, it's the guys daughter

That’s grim. Poor girl having to listen to that.

Shame, he obviously has trouble finishing. Im laughing, but also sympathise, we stayed overnight at a hotel once with noisy sex going on next door, it got very tedious after a while so it must be awful to have to put up with it every night!!!

Have you done anything yet OP? An anonymous note through their door with general comments about how much noise travels should make them realise & shouldn't be linked to you

Either speak to them or drop a note asking if they can move the bed away from the bed. Yes, they will be embarrassed but it might just do the trick.

Not from the bed, from the wall.

I'd be tempted to wait until the headboard was banging away (pardon the pun), nip out and ring their doorbell, and run back. Do it every night and they'll soon get the message.

Rename your router "WECANHEARNO9SHAGGING"

if you cant fight them, join them!

We all knew when Keith was giving it to her hard
🤣🤣🤣

Go ooooooon Keith mate

(Sorry just that 'Keith' has given me the giggles it's not very..well..you know what is it)

Anyway OP your neighbours are attention seekers I'd play music. If you don't want to drop a note

I sent our ndn Spotify link to Lionel Ritchie All Night long.
He promised to put a cushion behind the headboard!!

Had actually kept the messages!!

Just change your Wi-Fi name to 'WE CAN HEAR YOU HAVING SEX

My neighbour used to this, I was regularly woken up by the headboard banging off the wall. I started playing music to drown out he noises and after a while they must have got the message
