Can’t you just blow a toy trumpet or something at the end of the shagging so your neighbor knows you’ve heard them.

5zeds · 21/07/2022 19:14

Put up a brolly so you can’t see him.

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 21/07/2022 19:14

Get some massive wind chimes.

lastminutedotcom22 · 21/07/2022 19:15

Hasn't your daughter got a whole group of little friends she can invite round 😂

Hmmm, well I hate the shrieking and squealing that children inevitably do when playing in a pool.
As to shagging noises... none round my way.

Afraid I agree... Shrieking kids are incredibly annoying if they're not your own.

Still, you have options for revenge when he's shagging audibly, such as loudly critiquing his performance or playing the same suitably inappropriate song on full volume, every single time.

I've used it with my "young and loudly in love" neighbours.

I live 15 feet away from a Primary school playground and have lived here a very long time, so I am used to the sound of kids.

Some of the kids are hilarious, for throwing plastic balls at the housing officer ( from the climbing frame)so the sound of kids shrieking with delight is always better than the idiot throwing a wobbler and slamming doors!

Your nieghbour is a complete waste of organs and a selfish p...rick because the child is having more fun than he is.

Kanaloa · 21/07/2022 19:33

He’s rude for being oblivious to his own inappropriate noise and for huffing and puffing - but are you sure your dd is ‘shouting happily’ and not shrieking for no reason? I can’t abide by shrieking/screaming/squealing. It’s so unnecessary.

IncompleteSenten · 21/07/2022 19:36

Shout

You're in a bad mood for someone who has as much REALLY LOUD SEX as you do.

😁

notangelinajolie · 21/07/2022 19:38

I’d be buying a trampoline for the days when it’s too cold for the paddling pool.
And Disney’s ‘it’s a small world’ played on repeat worked for us.

despicable · 21/07/2022 19:38

Sorry to bring the bad vibes, but any regular noise becomes a nuisance, even if it's the sound of children having fun.

PearlClutch · 21/07/2022 19:42

You can also get wee karaoke machines for kids. They love em. After a few hundred goes, they can almost remember all the lyrics from the Frozen soundtrack.

Invite DD’s friends over and play baby shark on a loop.

he’ll soon shut the doors to have his day time shags.

Oh please do this.

DoingJustFine · 21/07/2022 20:05

Children laughing is lovely. But she also "shouts in happiness"? Confused I'd be dissuading my kids from shouting when they're outside. It's just polite.

WTF475878237NC · 21/07/2022 20:08

Shouts in happiness sounds like shrieking to me which I hate no matter who the kids belong to!

YRGAM · 21/07/2022 20:15

Fuck them. I'd go the whole hog as suggested - entire year group round to play, Baby Shark on a loop through Hacienda-power speakers

icelollycraving · 21/07/2022 20:17

I like hearing kids playing, but there is a certain type of little girl shrieking that cuts right through me. Shouting in happiness, I’d get her to be mindful of neighbours.
If he has the balls to say anything, say she’s vocal when enjoying herself, much like you and your wife.

RobertaFirmino · 21/07/2022 20:19

You both sound like a pain in the arse tbh. Him for making shagging noises loud enough for the neighbours to hear, you for allowing your daughter to repeatedly squeal loud enough for the neighbours to hear.

Sitbackandunwind · 21/07/2022 20:39

@RobertaFirmino Charming.

She’s not repeatedly squealing loud enough for the neighbours to hear. They’re right over the road from us, very close, they could likely hear us chatting in the garden.
Is a 4 year old expected to jump around in water in the middle of summer in silence? That’s just fucking weird! She’s a kid

Cheap ear plugs through the letterbox and a note saying, I've seen you're frustrated by neighbourhood noise, I use these during your partners fake orgasm marathons. Good luck, A Neighbour

Smokealarmwakeup · 21/07/2022 20:47

I would loudly tell my DH she’s faking it
