- smacksaw, on 07/09/2009, -38/+126FTA: "Why should we not make love? We are married, we have four grown-up kids, at our age it's good as we can do what we want," they said.
Wow, people sure are stupid. You guys can have all the sex you want, just keep quiet. Here's a better question: Why should the neighbours and a small child have to hear you?
Amazingly, there's other people in the world besides them who deserve consideration. - sexybobo, on 07/09/2009, -3/+77http://xkcd.com/316/
- dizavin, on 07/09/2009, -5/+72you're almost right.
if it's within the walls of their house, they can have all the sex they desire AND there is no possible way for any moans or grunts that a human can emit to exceed local noise laws. period.
as long as they're not actually breaking a noise law threshold and within their own home, they can screw until their eyes fall out and there's nothing their neighbors can do about it. - inactive, on 07/09/2009, -0/+57When you hear them start up, just put in a Gregorian Chant CD, select replay music, turn up the volume and go out to a movie, or for a nice long drive with the family. :
- myskepticsight, on 07/09/2009, -2/+46If you bang that loud maybe you should consider living somewhere where you don't share a wall with other people perhaps? But I am also open to possibility that the couple complaining could be overreacting.
- redgiemental, on 07/09/2009, -1/+33Sound proofing people ....sound proofing
- deslock, on 07/09/2009, -0/+30Those 1AM drives with the 6 year old would get tiresome quick.
Nice idea though. - Mistuke, on 07/09/2009, -5/+32Someone should give them http://www.xkcd.com/316/
- inactive, on 07/09/2009, -3/+29I like loud sex. If my girlfriend and I heard that we'd probably start doing it too. :^D
- cochonnerie, on 07/09/2009, -2/+27Noise is noise is noise. If what you're doing is preventing your neighbours from sleeping, which seems to be the case, then they have every right to be angry.
If the city isn't willing to get involved, then I believe some creative solutions are in order. It could actually be kind of fun. - ceolwulf, on 07/09/2009, -5/+23Wouldn't be that hard, being your right hand and all.
- MaC505, on 07/09/2009, -5/+23I was really half expecting this to be an Onion article.
- Mudcrutch, on 07/09/2009, -0/+17Article is from the UK.
- splinter09, on 07/09/2009, -3/+18I bet the woman is faking an orgasm!
- inactive, on 07/09/2009, -0/+15I would just get some earplugs and blast the Tellitubbies theme song every time I hear a peep out of them. It would ruin their mood and eventually they'll be conditioned to not be so loud.
- f4nt0m4s, on 07/09/2009, -0/+15Something is fishy about this. I mean they tried to get the city involved, but to no avail. So maybe they should try filing some noise complaints through local law enforcement. But it's odd that other neighbors aren't complaining and the city seems disinterested.
This sounds like a dramatized neighbor dispute. And the Telegraph, a dramatized tabloid, would never dramatize a story like this. /eyeroll - Enlefo, on 07/09/2009, -9/+23Spoken by someone who obviously isn't getting any.
- chudroy, on 07/09/2009, -1/+15They should give there neighbours one of those red balls with the leather strap that gimps use. Perfect solution :3
- skit4king, on 07/09/2009, -0/+13Good idea, record them and play it back on full volume on your 1,000w RMS home entertainment system.
- deslock, on 07/09/2009, -4/+17That's one interpretation.
Have you thought to consider that the noise isn't just grunts? I.e. very loud pillow talk...
Some people just don't want their 6 year old kids saying "F*** me like a horse you **** **** and give me ******" - adamwho, on 07/09/2009, -0/+13I think a suitable response would be to record them and post it with all the details.... maybe that would make them think differently.
- Yage2006, on 07/09/2009, -0/+12Call the police repeatedly then. Eventually they will get tased or brutalized by them and chill out.
- Boogalou007, on 07/09/2009, -0/+12Seriously, I would just record every single session, and then play it back to them the next day.
Every morning before heading to work I'd approach them and say something like;
"At 9:42 in the tape it sounds like you switched from missionary over to doggie. I also noticed that the pitch in your wife's moaning dropped quite dramatically perhaps indicating rectal penetration followed? I need to know so I can give the guys at the office a play by play. They're gonna love this even more than yesterdays tape!" - inactive, on 07/09/2009, -0/+11Regardless of what's causing the noise, if they are waking you up all the time you are gonna get pissed.
- useraccess, on 07/09/2009, -0/+11If they want to share their love making noises with everyone, then I would feel obliged to return the favor. I would just go up to the window or through the wall and start moaning with them. Start repeating every little sound she makes and prod him on. Come on big boy...make it hurt!!!
- omgwtflawl, on 07/09/2009, -6/+17Who the hell is the complaining family? Hyacinth and Richard Bucket? Put a record on and deal with it.
- vanguardanon, on 07/09/2009, -2/+12Let's forget that it's sex. What if the new couple was moving furniture all night? Or what if they were listening to loud music. If you live in an attached unit like a condo or a town home you need to STFU. I like to make the little lady randy as much as the next guy but I don't disturb the neighbors.
- loganhuddleston, on 07/09/2009, -2/+12Pics or it didn't happen?
- AndrewMoyer, on 07/09/2009, -2/+12FTA: "I don't want India to go to school repeating what she hears to her friends, which will then look bad on us as parents," Mrs Thompson said.
...because naming your kid "India" hasn't already done that... - inactive, on 07/09/2009, -3/+12That is like the oldest insult, I can't believe you're getting diggs. Besides, I'm a mattress humper.
- IClavdivs, on 07/09/2009, -9/+17Yes! Thank you! People are so uptight about sex in this country.
- CourageWulf, on 07/09/2009, -1/+9"If things go well I might be showing her my O-face. "Oh... Oh... Oh!"
- DiscoLando, on 07/09/2009, -2/+9Neighbor is plural - the headline should read "Family Forced to Move Due to Neighbors' Loud Sex".
- dinuguan, on 07/09/2009, -0/+7I bet they're the old yoga couple.
- redux2redux, on 07/09/2009, -1/+7Dugg for the comment from the Council that the noise related to "fundamental domestic activity"
- protogenxl, on 07/09/2009, -0/+6''We can cut back on the fake sex noises''
-Tim Bisley - tymme, on 07/09/2009, -0/+6Our complex is several buildings; we are on the southwestern edge of a U shape of three buildings. The way the buildings are laid out, the bedrooms are the rooms closest to each other across buildings. The female in the building kiddie-corner from us (about 10 feet space) is a screamer; she is more audible than anyone in our building.
The first two times we heard them, we just laughed. The third time, we yelled out our window, "Remember to slap her ass, too!". They heard, stopped, and shut the window. Haven't heard them since. - tymme, on 07/09/2009, -0/+6You think that's bad? I feel sorry for the older brother Titicaca.
- mogdor, on 07/09/2009, -1/+7If you insist on being so loud that you piss off your neighbors, whatever that loud activity is, don't live in a freakin apartment. Get your own house where you can be loud as you want. Can't afford a house? Then shut the hell up until you can and quit subjecting people to your noise.
- AndrewMoyer, on 07/09/2009, -3/+8This may be the first article where the following ASCII art works are all actually appropriate simultaneously:
- Pedobear (Think of the children)
- Quagmire (Oh yeah!)
- Bill O'Reilly (We'll *do it* live!)
- Picard (Facepalm) - tontovila, on 07/09/2009, -0/+5tiny tim.... tip-toe thru the tulips......
- inactive, on 07/09/2009, -1/+6raucous love making for the win, but seriously they moved to get away from it I know it can be annoying, but it seems like they win if they force you to move away.
- hackop, on 07/10/2009, -0/+5You're half right. Neighbor is singular, as in "I have one Neighbor." However, Neighbors' is correct in this case.
- spacemanspork, on 07/09/2009, -0/+5I need more concrete data before I can really judge this.
Basically, if they're having sex during reasonable hours and they're not disturbingly loud; I don't care. If they're interfering with my sleep then I care. My roommate and his gf used to have loud sex. And it was kind of annoying but I didn't care that much You know what was FAR more annoying and what I actually got really pissed about? Being really loud NON SEXUALLY until 4AM and pretty much non stop. Like imagine every time you were about to fall asleep, you were kept awake by obnoxiously loud laughing or exclamations.
There's two things we're really missing
1) How loud it really is
2) When it usually occurs
If it's loud enough to wake you up (which is very possible if they're sharing a wall and they're having VERY loud sex) and it's happening at 2AM and lasting until 4AM then I'm gonna be pissed and I'm not a prude. If they're having sex at like 9PM and are only loudly going on for like 30 minutes, then sure, stop bitching. I think it's just politeness to not be loud (doing WHATEVER; tv, sex, talking, movies, singing, playing musical instruments) during hours people sleep. So for me at least, I tend to stay quiet(er) from like 11pm-9am.
If you don't think it's ok for people to practice their trumpet at 3AM, then it's not ok to have loud sex at 3AM. - FyberOptic, on 07/09/2009, -2/+7While there are in fact plenty of noisy and rude people out there in the world, with no respect for anyone around them, sometimes you have to take initiative instead of running away. Go and ring their doorbell over and over during it, ring their phone with your number blocked, play loud non-sexual music, play really loud disgusting sounds, etc etc. Only way to make stupid people learn is to teach them with their own medicine.
- thegrantman, on 07/09/2009, -1/+6Won't stop them if they're into S+M.
- MrBogard, on 07/09/2009, -0/+5...AND they did move...
- glinsvad, on 07/09/2009, -0/+4I read in the news the other day about a guy who got in trouble this way. But then again, he was trying to keep the neighbors' kids away by blasting loud audio from "adult" movies.
Personally, I'd put Rick Astley on repeat and run far far away... - jitterbits, on 07/09/2009, -3/+7And if you can't handle the noise that other people make, maybe you should be the one who moves out of an apartment. I had an old lady who lived below me and would complain about the most inane things. I really tried to be considerate because she'd just had a knee operation and thus was forced to live below me, but her complaints were so absurd, from the clicking on keyboards to the sound of a bath running midday. She was impossible. (She even threatened to call the police on me if she ever saw me riding a bicycle without a helmet.)
Sometimes, people are just crazy. -
