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…

Have actually shouted out marks out of ten at some old neighbours who were trying to put on a show. ‘3/10 for finish, 7/10 for effort’ and we clapped and whooped a few times as well. They soon toned it down. It’s a bit clingy and hard to deal with, depends on the neighbour whether I’d put a note through the door. You could make it non - specific week can even hear you from our house. You don’t realise how irritating and annoying you’re being’. Confused

Put speakers next to the wall and start playing Wagner's Flight of tech Valkyries at full volume.

Funny and subtle.

Ok, maybe not subtle.

Alonelonelyloner · 16/09/2021 15:08

tech valkyries?

I had the same kind of neighbours. It happened day and night and people stopped visiting my house! It was so embarrassing to have mums and toddlers round, trying to make friends and then there would be screaming and shrieking, banging, even heard from downstairs.

When my older kid started asking what all the noise was I had enough and went round, first thing the neighbour said when she answered the door was, "is she too loud?"

Yes! Yes! Yes!

It got a bit better but after a few visits from the police (not my fault!) due to their domestic disputes I was relieved when Loud gf moved on.

Every time, lean on their doorbell and ask if you can help, should you call the police or an ambulance as you heard screaming.

FuckingFabulous · 16/09/2021 16:12

Mmmm. I'd be cautious confronting. About a decade ago, I visited a friend and her husband was nervously pacing and looking out the window. Friend informed me he'd lost his cool after months of the neighbour's loud shagging and posted them a note telling them to stop the "horror movie sound effect sex, you're scaring kids and nobody wants to hear you!" and signed it.

Bloke from next door came over and cheerfully apologised and then horribly whisper-explained to friends DH that his wife has.....specific tastes.... and although it sounds like she's being murdered, she's actually being fisted.

The DH could never ever even look at either of them again.

They sound like the absolute dregs, waking their poor baby.

I wouldn't care about their feelings.

They should be ashamed of themselves.

Poor baby.

@Thehop

One of our neighbours WiFi username is “number 52, we all hear you” which tickles me pink.
🤣🤣🤣
Alonelonelylonersbadidea · 16/09/2021 16:24

I was going to suggest that it may be fisting. That can be quite noisy. Yeah baby!!!

On a more serious note, it's absolutely out of order to do that with kids in the house.

Totally agree 💯

On holiday a few years ago I mentioned to the man in the next tent that we'd none of us slept because of the constant loud shagging (3 nights upwards of 4 hours a night) he told me that he was a virgin before his holiday and asked me if I thought the woman sounded like she was enjoying it! I had to break it to him that no, she was definitely faking it. Was qiuet after that.

Should add he was 40+ and in the quiet family field. The kids were convinced she was giving birth.

I have a very large gong you can borrow. Option on vuvuzela.

ShaggerDoDoDo · 16/09/2021 18:45

How did this turn into fisting 😆😆

as I got home a car pulled up and a man got out and went to the house. I’m thinking a new bf or a back with ex scenario. I’m also expecting more screaming tonight 😞

My neighbours used to say my husband was being too noisy during sex. So I’ve stopped him going round there now.

@DinkyDiggies

I had an apartment under some noisy neighbours and took to banging on the ceiling with a mop handle while shouting ‘shut up shaggers’.
OMG that's hysterical 🤣
OvariesDeep · 17/09/2021 15:15

@Kanaloa

Start playing La Bamba every morning at about 5am loudly enough to wake them up. After one/two weeks, start also playing La Bamba every time they have sex.

They will associate the song with being woken up in the early hours and being stressed and will not be able to get aroused while it’s playing. You know, Pavlovian style.

This is quality Grin

@HangingChads

Change the wifi to 'we can hear you having sex'
Again. Quality 😂
DontWiltMySpinachPlease · 17/09/2021 16:12

Did you manage to sleep through last night, OP?

ShaggerDoDoDo · 17/09/2021 16:39

Well I know that the MN way means that I should return with some story of escalations and windows shattering

However, if there was any noise last night then we all exhaustedly slept through it (possibly due to sleep deprivation)

Which leads me to conclude that there was, in fact, no sex last night
