To ask what to do if anything about neighbours loud shagging?

[ShaggerDoDoDo]

Lived here a couple of months. Amazing house semi-detached. Next door has 3 young kids.

Over the last week, NDNs have been having such noisy sex that the wardrobes in the bedroom are shaking. She’s a screamer, and she then wakes her own baby which starts screaming too! Last night, they shagged and screamed til the baby woke up, got it back to sleep, then shagged and sleep til it woke up screaming again!

We are tired! And work FT.

Having had noisy neighbours in the past I’d hoped for a fresh start here. Am tempted to put a note through the letterbox but DH says no 😆

AIBU to ask what (if anything) to do?!

YANBU - pop a note through
YABU - here’s a better idea…

Or, shout through the wall asking if you can join in.

Or next time they finish shout really loudly "please sir can I have some more" 🤣🤣

You need to report it to the council. They will investigate and issue a noise abatement notice if they feel your complaint is justified.

I had this with a lady who lived in the flat above me, she did it for a living & not only the normal stuff, she did BDSM as well. I had to turn my TV up to nearly full volume to drown it out & when she stopped working at 2.00am she then started doing the washing, I imagine for the sheets & towels, the washer was still going at 4.00am. Thankfully she moved out 2 years ago, I wasn't sorry to see her go.

Just shout “MATE SHES FAKING IT TRY HARDER” then rate each one out of 10 and post it

I would definitely be sharing the experience with a Meg-Ryan-in-When-Harry-Met-Sally "YES, YES, YESSSSSSS" sing-a-long.

Play the Benny Hill theme tune very loudly through the walls. Every time.

I bet they are trying for a baby so there'll be frequent sex for a few days then little else all month.

Rather than applause (genius) I'd play something like Je t'aime on loop then switch off after the climax (your ndn's not the one on the soundtrack).

Last night, they shagged and screamed til the baby woke up, got it back to sleep, then shagged and sleep til it woke up screaming again!

Eugh I would actually consider this abusive since they know they are disturbing their own child with their sex acts. I might consider telling the social

Join in with the moans. Or play some Benny Hill style music through the wall.

Next time they start up, knock on the door with a crucifix and a bottle of holy water and tell them you've come to exorcise the poltergeist who keeps waking the baby.

I used to wait till things were getting to a peak & turn the music on loud to put them off, it worked nearly every time, I must have cost her a fortune.

Just play porn and turn the volume up and out sex them!

Can honestly say I have never had this problem…think I would be a tiny bit Jel if I was the neighbour 😂

How old are there other DCs OP? It’s definitely not appropriate for kids to be exposed to deliberate sexual noise like that.

@talkalarm

They know they can be heard, who actually needs to really scream during sex. Poor kids. The need for such performance fucking (I can only assume she's faking) with complete disregard for their own child's sleep is weird.

Agreed it’s fucking creepy, I read a thread on here a while back about parents having loud sex and the trauma it caused children and how it affected them as adults. They know full well you can hear them OP and probably get off on it. If my neighbours behaved like that I wouldn’t treat it as a joke I would tell them exactly what I think and that I didn’t want to be party to their sex lives, creeps.

Gosh your walls are thin! I live in a semi and can barely hear anything from the house adjoining me, there are four of them too, all normal, happy and active.

I don't know what you can do (apart from moving to somewhere with more solid walls), it's a delicate situation. They probably don't realise they can be heard. Bang on the wall?

Record it.

Put it on the village Facebook page.

Not sure if I’m ashamed or proud but recently my neighbours were very loud, windows all open in the hot weather, they woke my teenager up who played Your sex is on fire by the kings of Leon really loudly out of his bedroom window, I didn’t know whether to be appalled, laugh, tell him off but they seem quieter about it lately!

Ugh. I think that’s really grim with their children in the house. Deeply inappropriate.

Briiliant!

"Dear Neighbors,

Judging from volume of screaming and shaking wardrobes, my DH and I give you a solid "10." However, we are losing sleep and getting grumpy. Expect future scores to drop accordingly!"

I know someone who had this problem with her neighbours. She wrote a note and they kept it down after that.
