Neighbors unwanted bedroom noise!
14 Answers
I hope this is not in breach of any rules but I have some very active neighbors who get quite vocal a certain times (you know what I mean!)
All I would like is a little advice on how I can shut them up or let them know that they are being too noisey without telling them face to face.
I have only been in my house for a month and I don't want to confront them already.
I have tried turning up the tv but I can still hear them (and its not very pleasant) then I get worried that I'm being to noisey, any ideas?

Seriously, you could maybe make some noise on your side - music or something - to let them know that the sound carries, and they might realise they could be heard.
And look on the bright side. I once had a girlfriend who lived in a downstairs room, and above her was a right romeo - all you heard most nights was a rhythmic thud, which got faster the nearer he was to finishing.

If these subtle tactics haven't worked, be a little more overt. Try and catch the lady of the house - the man will just take it as a compliment - and say something like "You had a good night last night didn't you?" and smile, and wink, the walk away. It will save her being too embarassed, and it should do the trick. The polite way forward is never ever to refer to it again, unless it doesn't top, in which case they are ignoring simple courtesy, and the gloves are off. The you can say something a little more pointed like "Have you got a licence to be a 's*ag monster then?" and stare her out.
Good luck.

I couldn't do that! For a start off the only time i've ever seen the woman is when the bloke comes home from the pub with a take away and he can't carry it all so she walks up to the car to help him!
I think they are just being selfish because they've lived next to an elderly man for the last x amount of years so he probably never heard them.
I'm not a prude but this couple are old and very unattractive, I'm just thankfull i'm not eating my dinner when they start!

When they've finished at the top of your voice say "Thank God for that!" or "Thank God that's over with for another night!"
They must know you can hear them, if you can hear their telly they must be able to hear yours if you've turned it up to drown out their noise.
If you ever pass them I would say hello, then run off sniggering at them. or make some reference to "being quick"

put on a performance of your own! jump up and down on your bed with your partner and basically imitate them.
do it when they are quiet and trying to sleep, they will see for themselves your situation and realise it they can hear you, you can hear them and may get the message.
also if it doesn't work go round and ask if they would mind putting their bed against a different wall as it bangs on your wall whenever they get in and out of bed - they may just do it

I think Joko's answer is the best one - try and stay up until you're sure they've been asleep a couple of hours and then do it. Be as loud as you dare and make sure you use the same sort of noises as they do - only try not to giggle too much while you're at it ('scuse the pun!) or they'll know you're only pretending.
Another idea is to play a tune like 'Mr Blobby' or similar loudly at the critical moment. Or, if you have chiildren, get them to shout "Muuuum.....the neighbours woke me uuuupppp!!" in a loud but whiney voice (this worked when my daughter did it for real, when my neighbours were arguing late the other night)

That would also be a good idea, however I live with another girl who is my sister, if they heard me making noises they'd either think I was gay or by myself!
I'm pretty sure they wait till their kids are at their grandparents for the day so it should be quiet for another week hopefully.
I think i'm going to try the idea of shouting something or laughing when its over, hopefully they may be embarrassed by that.
