AIBU?

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

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…

@onelittlefrog

I’m not making assumptions about their enjoyment of sex- you have no idea whether I’m myself a BDSM loving screamer or vanilla missionary type - I’m making a generalisation (that I’m fairly sure would hold true) that most mothers don’t want to knowingly distress their children? However good the sex is? That’s all.

I had a similar problem with flatmates and addressed it by loudly playing all the songs I could think of that were associated with sex (culminating with the speeded-up William Tell overture from the Clockwork Orange soundtrack). Didn’t make them stop but made me feel better!

I had this in my first house and banging on the wall made bugger all difference.

I would now give them a cheer and if that didn't work, I would shout "we all know you're faking it".

And if that didn't work I would now go and know on the door, apologise, but say something. Because now I'm older, grumpier and not going to let something like this ruin my sleep!

I think I’d have to go round there, bang on the door and tell them to shut up. If nothing else it will stop them mid flow! No point saying anything the next day or the next time you see them, do something about it there and then. And why does your dh get the final say? Stuff that. Its waking you and your children, they need to be told. Doesn’t have to be rude or aggressive but they need to know they are disturbing people

Next time you see them ask whether they have been renting out their house for a film shoot. Then wink.

Our neighbours once put a testy note through the door complaining about our noisy nocturnal activities that woke them up everymorning at 5am. I was confused as DH was away and i hadnt been self servicing. It was jackdaws on the roof/chimney space Grin

Next time there is screaming, just knock on their door and very innocently put concerned face on we were worried about you as we heard screams? Is everything OK?

We have this problem sometimes. Fortunately it tends to be short lived 😂

Kinell. They're having marathon, loud, ecstatic sex and they have a small baby? I want to know their secret.

Aside from which, if the baby might be traumatised by overhearing loud, screaming sex at an impressionable age, you might want to drop them a broad hint by posting a copy of Freud's 'Primal Scenes' through the letterbox Blush

I'd recommend Barney the Purple Dinosaur singing "I Love you, you love me, we're a happy family".

A further recommendation for the unsexy playlist: Rammstein's distinctly NOT-shag-anthem 'Pussy' (one of their few non-German efforts). Chorus lyrics: 'I have a pussy, you have a dick, so what's the problem, let's do it quick!'

Added to that seductive, enticing appeal is that it's hard rock/metal.

You could have such fun with this ...

@HangingChads

Change the wifi to 'we can hear you having sex'

Absolute genius! Grin

I also like the teenager who played "Sex on fire" through the window. Brilliant!

I reality I think banging on the wall when you next hear them is probably your first best option.

LaTour! 'People are still having sex', silly dance track from 1991.

Agree. Everyone on here is laughing and joking about it, meanwhile there is what is tantamount to child abuse going on next door, exposing children to sex. That poor baby is probably waking in fear as it's "mother" is screaming the place down. Really sad. Don't know how old the other children are but they and the baby will learn/know their mother is having sex. It's pretty twisted. Op, report them to Ss please and maybe it can be checked out.

We had a couple like this next door, their bedroom was right beside ours. One particularly loud session I loudly said Go for it Girl! Never heard them again, they probabably dont realise how thin the walls are .

Bbq1 won’t they know their mother has sex anyway, presumably they weren’t delivered by the stork. Just tell them they are making too much middle of the night noise. They might not even realise it. I’m sure SS have more important things to do then this.

We live near the end of a row of terraced houses and are also having to put up with this from some pair about four houses down. That is how loud it is.

The first couple of times it was funny, but now it's just pathetic. Windows always open, middle of the day or early evening sometimes, zero regard for anybody else or their children who are trying to use their gardens and asking questions about what the hell the noise is. She needs to shut the fuck up. Nobody outside of porn, which she has clearly based her entire act around, makes - or NEEDS to make - that kind of ridiculous noise.

Sorry if I come across as judgemental to anyone, but it's fucking grim.

@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.

Exactly this. On our last holiday, people next door were SO LOUD. It's honestly cringe and disgusting. What kind of adult does that?

Cheer them on? Obviously loud enough so they hear and are hopefully embarrassed?

Or some loud music on speakers turned to the wall at the right point... maybe we can suggest some tracks?

Ride of the Valkyries
Bolero

1812 overture...that will need some timing to get right

We had this! We tried shouting "can we finally get some sleep now" knocking on the wall, round of applause, I even played Marvin let's get it on tune against the wall. They did go quieter but if they'd had a drink it would be louder! One day I heard them talking in the garden and at the time there was only me at home so I rang a friend and loudly said "I'm so tired today because I was kept awake by some really unusual sounds it actually sounded like a seal calling or an injured animal" they went very quiet. This did stop them for a while then continued again until she got pregnant then all I heard was sickness so no noisy sex for a while after that then they moved!

'Lonely Island - I just had sex' played towards their bedroom wall after each dramatic performance may put a stop to the theatrics and screaming 😆

@stairway Well, the baby certainly won't understand yet will it when she wakes it with her screaming? Guess it will. Learn though. Op doesn't say how old the other children are but regardless of whether they know their mother has sex or not you think it's right they hear her shagging away night after night? Whether you are 1 or 16, know about sex or not do you want to hear your parent(s) screaming out waking your siblings and the neighbours? It's potentially really damaging to those children and surely is exposing them to sexual behaviour. The woman sounds vile. Yeah maybe Ss do have more to do so Op needs to say something to neighbours as it's no laughing matter.

If your wardrobes are shaking, there is something seriously wrong with the structure of your house. OR. They must be monsters, transformed into their natural state to have sex, if they're doing it with such power. They'll probably have little monster babies who eat you in your sleep. I'd stay on the right side of them.
