Mum mortified as neighbour's sex is so loud it wakes her and her son up
Many of us will have several tales of noisy neighbours who keep us up at night. Whether it's loud music, parties or annoying pets, noise from surrounding homes can make life very difficult indeed, especially if they're doing it when you're trying to sleep. Most of the time, a simple note or a frank conversation is enough to solve the problem.
But it can be all the more awkward to resolve when the noise in question relates to something a little more personal. One mum found herself in that exact situation when neither she nor her son could get to sleep because her neighbours were up all night doing the deed.
She explained she had been disturbed by her 'nightmare' neighbour for some time. "I've lived in my house just over a year and in that year my neighbour has been a bit of a nightmare, dogs barking at all hours, music playing, constant arguments with her ex-partner and police being called", she wrote in a post on Babycentre.
"I've contacted her landlady a few times who says she has spoken to her, I've also approached her myself. A few weeks ago she had an all night party with her new boyfriend music was blaring all night and woke my toddler up, I emailed her landlady and had a message off my neighbour the next morning apologising."
From then on, there was no more loud music coming from the neighbour's house, but the mum and her youngster have been disturbed during the night by "the loudest sex sessions" she'd ever heard. She explained how the sessions can go on "for hours" and that her neighbour was "literally screaming".
'My selfish neighbour stole our parking spot - my revenge means he'll regret it'
"It's quite funny but when it's waking you up at 3am it gets a bit annoying", she added. This raised a tricky question over how best to complain about the noises and further detailed: "I have no idea how to approach this situation I don't feel I can really email her landlady again about the noises all night"
"It's that loud that it woke my son one night and he came into my room to ask what the screaming was. And this morning we've all been sat downstairs since 5am. I'm not a complete fun sponge but I'm sooooo tired, probably about as tired as I imagine she is," the mum continued.
Other users sympathised with the poster, with one writing: "I know that my council policy states sexual noises are not something they would class as anti social. I'd put the washing machine on its longest cycle. I'd hoover. I'd also leave a radio on. I'm petty like that."
Another told her to 'look into moving out'. They added: "There’s no other way. She's the quintessential nightmare neighbour. Sorry you ended up with one. Your poor toddler."
The mum replied that her efforts to ask her neighbour to stop while seeing the funny side had fallen on deaf ears. "So once after they'd finished I let out a round of applause and shouted thank f*** that's over", she said. "Petty I know but no she did not get the hint. I have been in touch with the council previously for noise and was advised to keep a diary but sex noise?! No idea how to approach that one."
Another user offered a creative solution to the problem, writing: Record it and 6am open all the windows and blast out the sex session for everyone to hear. But seriously though... just be as noisy... put music on or hoover."
Another poster advised: "Contact the council to ask about their policy on sex noises, keep recordings of the noise in case environmental noise want to see the situation If you ever talk to her but don't want to outright address it, mention in passing 'I don't know which house it was but did you hear the jungle sex noises last night?'"
"'That screaming woke the whole street up, I feel so sorry for whoever it is, it will be so embarrassing when we figure out which house it is'". If she isn't the kind to care about it then I honestly would look at moving, noise is to be expected in semi/terraced houses BUT all-night-long sex sessions and loud music is not a reasonable noise you would expect on a regular basis."
