Living with friends can be difficult, especially if they're a loud lover.
Whether you've moved in to University halls, or decided to live with others to reduce your bills while working in a new job - it's not always going to be smooth sailing. There will always be petty arguments about who's not pulling their weight with the cleaning, who forgot to take the bins out, and what the type of takeaway they should order on Friday night.
But, sometimes problems can occur from within the bedroom. One woman says her sex noises are so loud that - despite living furthest away in the house - her housemate can hear everything.
Taking to Reddit, an anonymous 21-year-old explains she's currently living with three other roommates, all sleeping in separate bedrooms that they pay for with individual leases. She has a boyfriend and likes to 'engage in sexual activities that adults enjoy regularly'.
However, her night-time antics has made one housemate 'uncomfortable' - resulting in her texting the woman and even knocking on the door 'during the act'. "Every time me and my boyfriend engage we turn the TV and fan on and make sure we are both really really quiet," the post reads.

"I have also asked if my other two roommates that are closer to my room hear anything at night and they both said no. So, I don't understand how this roommate is hearing anything unless she is actively standing in the hallway or outside my door trying to catch us."
The woman refuses to stop having sex with her boyfriend as it's in the 'privacy of her own room' and she has already taken 'multiple steps' to ensure nobody can hear them. "It makes no sense," she added.

Hundreds of users took to the comments section to give their thoughts, with many siding with the alleged culprit. "You aren't putting on a show in the living room, or hogging the bathroom to have sex in the shower," one person said. "You're engaging in intimate activities behind a closed door in a private space... She needs to relax, or needs to find living accommodations that fit her standards."
Another commented: "As long as you and your boyfriend are doing it behind closed doors and making efforts to be respectful you're not doing anything wrong." While a third added: "She's far too interested in your private life."
Many users even suggested trying to trick the complainer, by turning on the TV and fan but not having sex - to see if she still complains. They added: "If she knocks and when she does immediately open the door fully clothed and ask what's up."
