Hello everyone,
We have been living in this unit for 5 months now. At the beginning, we did not know how the sound insulation situation was, so maybe we were a little careless about the noise – the downstairs neighbours wrote us a letter letting us know that it was bothering them, which we completely understood.
Ever since, we have been very careful: we don’t get intimate after dinner time (they seem to go to bed quite early) and we barely moan anymore.
The issue is that we’d be in the middle of it and they’d interrupt us by knocking on the ceiling to tell us to stop.
Now, the insulation is not that bad either, and we are extremely careful, so I doubt they hear more than the noise the bed can make.
Those neighbours are always at home as they don’t work. This situation is taking a toll on our life as we are having less frequent intercourse and when we are having it we still have those neighbours on our mind, which is frankly taking the enjoyment down.
Netizens’ comments
- You could knock on their door to tell them you’re gonna f each other’s brains out now, so maybe they can go out for a nice walk
- Order earplugs online and send them anonymously to them
- There’s a fine line between accommodating other peoples boundaries and neglecting your own. You shouldn’t have to stop shagging just because their’s is dead, just tell them you’re entitled to living your life, if they have a problem they can contact someone who cares.
- Yeah, it doesn’t sound like they’re being super reasonable. Try and deaden the sounds made by your bed if possible – rubber feet, furniture ‘bump’ pads on the headboard, etc.
