To know on the wall to let the neighbours know...

• KNOCK ON THE WALL. BLOODY FAT FINGERS.

AIBU to let the neighbour know that I can hear them?

Hear me out. I'm not a prude, honest.

For months, I've been puzzled by random shaking in my flat. Seriously, the whole flat (top floor of a town-house) would shake. Sometimes for quite a while. Considered that it might be large lorries driving past, earthquakes, trains, etc. I was always in the lounge when this happened.

Then one day it happened when I was in my bedroom. It was accompanied by some very loud groaning from my neighbour - and I suddenly realised what it was.

It's happening quite frequently now. At least once every other day. Very loud. Lots of shaking. It was ok before I realised what it was.

I've tried ignoring it. But I can't. I literally can't block it out. It's also bringing back some very unpleasant memories.

I know I can't do anything. But I'm struggling.

Say ''You are a noisy w@nker can you be more quiet please?''

What the heck is he doing that vibrates so much??

''Who screams when they are wanking''

It sounds like your male neighbour has invested in some specific apparatus!

I'd get my flat checked for structureal safety, how is it shaking?

Head banging?

That sounds like a lorry going past? Do you mean a headboard hitting the wall that shouldn't make a flat shake, it must be more than that

I know it was a terrible one but it was a joke

I really don’t think someone masturbating can cause an entire building to shake.

And while what he’s doing sounds annoying, I don’t think he needs to change his habits in his own home because you find the sound of a man having an orgasm triggering - that’s on you to address, surely.

What you're describing is impossible- men don't wank hard enough to make a flat shake, they'd literally hurt themselves

It must be in conjunction with something else like wanking while sitting on the washing machine to get your balls/prostate massaged or something

MACHINES cause walls to shudder, not a hand holding a knob 🤷‍♀️

Maybe he is having sex with his partner. Who knows. I only ever hear his voice.

These are very old houses. And trust me, the shaking ALWAYS ends in his groaning. So there is no doubt.

I'll ignore that.

I can't speak for OP, but because of my abusive childhood, being exposed to my parents having sex, there unfortunately are some of us that are 'triggered', by 'normal' things others do.

Thank you.

I'm rather baffled as to why it's not obvious how someone might be triggered by this.

This is one of the stranger posts I've read on mumsnet in the 16 years I've been here.

How does wankng make the whole top floor of a neighbouring house shudder like an earthquake?

if you drop a note, you should include timings in the note - so they can pinpoint the noise - as it could be a noisy washing machine. banging pipes.

My new freezer liked to say wooooooh as it settled down.

If his habits are affecting someone in their own home then it seems only polite to change them. I definitely toned down the noises when I lived in a flat because strangely enough, I didn’t want all my neighbours to hear me having an orgasm!

🤣🤣😆

Lol... you're killing me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I've heard of men going at it like a jackhammer but this is ridiculous.

Well, why do you fucking think? It doesn't take a genius to guess.

Are you really that naive or are you being deliberately obtuse?

Didn't say he was wanking, did I? He is probably going at it with his partner - I just happened to say that it was a male voice that I heard just before the shaking stopped.

Maybe he has a fucking machine.

He could have a fleshlight inserted in a part of the bed and the bed is hitting the wall.. there are so many different things he could be doing that causes the shaking, seriously, use your imagination, or don't haha.

I would have to post a note to let him know.

What’s that song they have on during gavin and Stacy whilst the family can hear them shagging? Could it be magic? Come come come 😂 Try playing that part when they start up.
