How do you deal with thin walls and neighbours having sex?

    Been a while since I lived in an apartment, but what I used to do was tape it and play it back when they were done.

      Amazing! Did they stop after that?

        Took twice. After the second time, I managed to leave my apartment the same time as the loud woman next door. Got a real uncomfortable stare. They were much quieter after that.

      That is so weird and brilliant.

      My sister used to applaud the loud neighbours having sex with open windows. They moved soon after.

        I like that. Too bad they moved, she could have asked them for a schedule so she could invite friends over. Increase the audience size. Of course, that could backfire if they were exhibitionists.

    A hearty round of applause after the final gasp - works like a charm!

      Hahaha I love it! Start with a slow clap, and augment to furor!

    I invest in sound cancelling headphones.

    Also banging a broomstick against the shared wall.

    Why are the walls having sex with the neighbours ;)

      They actually seem be having a threesome: my neighbour, his girlfriend and our shared wall.

      I was hopeful here the other night when he played Please Don’t Leave Me repeatedly, thinking they were breaking up. But sadly it seems that Pinks magical song brought them back together. Dammit.

      Ha yes I wondered that too! :D

    we left an anonymous note in their post box saying "while it's lovely to know your girlfriend is having such a great time you might not be aware the walls in this very old building are very thin - we'd speak to you face to face bit though it best to spare the blushes" It did the trick.

    The bloke who lived upstairs from my last flat was into slapping with his girlfriend. We dealt with it by opening the patio door so that we could hear better, and talked and laughed more loudly than usual. It didn't put them off. They started up once when my mum was round. She asked what the noise was. Cringemakingly embarrassing conversation ensued. Then to top it all off, I went to see a rheumatologist about my knee problem. The girlfriend was his nurse! She said that she knew me and he then put me in touch with a particular surgeon who had an interest in knees. He diagnosed my problem immediately - only took four months to get to see him.

    Anyway, the moral of that story is be nice to your slaphappy neighbours because they might just help you in an unexpected way. :)

    A neighbor in a building I used to live in would would blast a laugh track if I was too loud. Really distracting and very effective.

    I don't. I once heard my neighbour upstairs fuck his girlfriend four times in a single night. I could even hear the sweaty hip slaps. Worst part of it all was that the sounds made me horny. Got up tired and frustrated.
