Get an air horn and use it every time they shag or the moaning faced bastard does his grumpy fucker act.

@ThePumpkinPatch thank you for your sympathies, I know we do need to have a conversation. I've been putting it off because I just don't want to be 'one of those people', & I think screaming child may have some additional needs & parents are using the swimming pool to let her blow off steam.

God though the noise really travels. It's weird that they don't think it's unreasonable given that they must know we're just next door. It's at the stage where we literally cannot use the garden if they're out there.

How do you know he’s annoyed with your DD? Maybe the sex isn’t good and he’s muttering outside before he goes in for another try?!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏

Mumsnet is full of weirdos…. You can tell by some of these comments 🙄

Agree with the song 😂

That song is torture especially after 30 minutes stuck on the ride in Disneyland.

No one deserves that

I'd have to do a playlist for them ....

Je t'aime Serge & Jane
Bit of Teddy Pendergrass
Tom Jones - Leave your hat on

Etc etc

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik?

😆

Take DD round to a friend's where they can make loads of noise. Record it .

Either you or someone you know, do an 2 nd recording of a loud dominant woman ( pornhub should yield results..). Recording No 2. On a loop maybe ?

Big Bluetooth speaker discreetly placed ( under a towel ?)

Send DD to friends.

Play tape No 1. Until he kicks off.
3 mins later start on ' Bonus track No 2...lay it on totally.

Either, it'll make him feel so inadequate that he takes up golf instead...
OR. He'll be making excuses to pop round & ask if you have any sugar coz he's run out...

At that point, all the power is in your hands lol !!

PS Just ensure the loop is ' very hot ' !!
Even better...if he REALLY has a woman in there, & she is so demanding that he's at it " all day ", there's the danger that she might be popping round ' for sugar ', but that just gives you chance to ask her why she's putting up with a bloke who is obviously so unhappy & stroppy , & how lucky you are .

The response to hearing sex by neighbours should either be fake moans, or a round of applause when they finish.

Or playing Benny Hill music 😂

ivykaty44 · 22/07/2022 20:45

That's good....

Yeh, just do the lot !!

I used to live in a second floor apartment, and in the apartment below me lived a younger couple who had a very active sex life. I only knew this because the female was somewhat of a screamer and it wasn’t uncommon to hear her in the throes of orgasm twice a night. I was a bit bemused when the guy stopped me one day to ask if I could walk a bit more quietly as my floors were apparently noisy.

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.

Play Rod Stewart's If you think I'm sexy

MadMadMadamMim · 22/07/2022 19:00

How on earth do you hear them shagging if they are across the road from your back garden? I'd assumed they were next door neighbours and your bedrooms were adjoining. 😮

i think the shagging is the figment if the OP’s very fertile imagination 😀

Bignanny30 · 22/07/2022 22:24

There’s nothing nicer than the sound of a child's laughter

Rollonautumn2022 · 22/07/2022 23:17

@MadMadMadamMim They’re only over the back and patio doors and windows open. We’ve heard them for years

Happenchance · 23/07/2022 00:25

Are you sure it's them that your hearing? Noise can be deceiving, especially at night.

I'd take sex noise over children shouting, not least because it doesn't last as long.

CatsnCoffee · 23/07/2022 03:41

You don’t mention his partner. Is there one or is he just playing a film soundtrack/recording to convince his neighbours he’s having an impressive sex-life! Funny if you haven’t ever seen her/him/them.

Oh please do this.

Love baby shark!

gogohmm · 23/07/2022 08:14

How many hours a day is she shrieking and squealing? That would really grate pretty quickly. The sound of the water isn't the issue. My neighbours kids aren't allowed to shout, we hear the parents telling them that if they get too loud in the pool they will be sent inside, and they do! It's called being considerate, there's playing outside noise and loud noise

hareandrabbit · 23/07/2022 08:21

Mumsnet is a funny old place. Usually any kind of inconsiderate behaviour (eg allowing children to screech/shout all day in a garden) are widely derided BUT in the case of someone else getting some, that person immediately becomes the enemy.

Lots of sexually frustrated people on this site 🤣

Rollonautumn2022 · 23/07/2022 08:43

@CatsnCoffee Yes 🤣We know her, she’s quite nice, often chat with her when walking the dog

@Earlydancing

I would say it should stop around 1.5-2.5. But some children naturally like to scream and need to be told ‘no stop that now.’ I can’t abide by screaming and didn’t allow it specifically because I find it’s horrible. To me it’s similar to kids who run round emptying toy boxes out - not really enjoyment but more frantic/frenzied. I prefer more calm type of playing but I think children need to learn that with support.

My DNiece, who is utterly delightful in every other respect, still has screaming fits and tantrums at the slightest thing.

She's 20!

Strangeways19 · 22/07/2022 19:03

I don't know if you're nbu because we live next to a very loud child playing in the pool (we don't shag loudly I hasten to add, we're pretty quiet & have grown up children). I cannot cope with the screaming, if your DD is screaming it's incredibly annoying. But I feel like our neighbours are unusual given 6 children lived there before & we never had any issues like this. It's unreserved full on screaming, it's also surprising that no-one ever seems to tell her to reign it in.
Ignore the people telling you that your DD should make more noise this will only irritate the situation.

My NDN's DD was a screamer. It was earsplitting and at a pitch that sounded like it could shatter glass. It was near-painful and in good weather, when she was playing outside, it got so bad I used to have to go out to get away from it sometimes.

She's grown up now, long since left home, and has a toddler of her own and guess what? Her toddler is also a screamer. Thankfully, when she visits, they tend to spend time out in the garden.

LakieLady · 23/07/2022 09:42

Sorry, there should have been a "not" after "tend".

🤣 I work in Early childhood education. And I’m sure that forcing people to listen to baby shark interminably is on some UN list somewhere as a form of torture! It’s almost as bad as being forced to listen to Coco melon, almost!

I would be playing peel the banana (guacamole) song on repeat
