We have new neighbours, both late 50's perhaps early 60's. They are very nice, friendly people, from what we can gather, and a welcome addition to out little street.
However, at approximately 7am each morning we were hearing nioses. I thought as they had just moved in, they were shifting furniture, putting up pictures and general D.I.Y Although an odd time to do these jobs, I assumed, once settled in, they would stop. The noises didnt stop. So I made a point of listening carefully against our bedroom wall last week (adjacent to theirs next door).
I heard what was definitely sexual noises and the headboard banging against their wall!!
So, most mornings (as they seem to have a couple off in the week) me and my OH are listening to this going on.
I am mildy ammused/indifferent about it as half the time I am up for work way before that time and when I am not I sleep like a baby. But my OH, who doesnt wake until 7.45am as a rule is getting a bit fed up.
We are not prude's and given that we can hear htem, they have perhaps heard us too!
But, 7am!!! The thought of doing anything energetic before my morning coffee and shower is unthinkable and I would get a punch of my OH for even suggesting it.
Given their age profile, do they perhaps have that energy in the morning and do they leave the house with a little spring in their step! I know my parents are morning people (Oh god no get that image out my mind!!!) Then relax in the evenings.
I'd just ignore it. You have to give them respect for still going at it at that age (no offense untended but probably some taken). They must be really loud or you have thin walls...
gentlemen sometimes awake in a condition that makes them available for sexual activity but that - in the older person - often does not occur again during the day.
If you could report back on exactly what they say, I could give you fuller advice. Holding an upturned glass to the wall is said to be a useful hearing aid.
We are in a new terrace, we are the end, they are the middle.
It is a well built property but like all newer builds the walls can be a bit thin.
Perhaps he has just discovered viagra!!
I dont know that there is a solution here to be honest, like I say I am more amused than anything (not in a pervy way)
it used to be called "morning glory" if my memory serves me ? yes if you can hear them then they can likewise hear you , have they complained ? live and let live.
When I used to work at the social club the clubs treasurer used to go away to the coast with her husband, daughter and her boyfriend. They stayed in a 6 birth caravan and would compete on how long the mother and daughter could 'go' for. I'm sorry but I wouldn't want to hear my mum going at it nor would I want her to hear me going at it. Even if for some messed up reason I would partake in sexual acts in the same caravan as my mother I certainly wouldn't make it public to a 19 year old bar person in a social club.
