WIBTA Loud neighbors- say something?

WIBTA if I confronted our neighbors for having LOUD sex almost every day? Or should we make a general noise complaint to the townhome office first?

We had a guest over for dinner last night and it was so uncomfortable for that to be heard during dinner.

We’ve already asked them to not their dogs poop on our patio anymore, and that worked. So maybe they’re open to being more considerate?

  1. Just mention to them you heard some loud noises and ask them to please keep it down. If they continue to do it without quieting down then go to the townhome office.

  2. Nah if you can hear it in your house … I wouldn’t bring this up to them directly tho, adults are aloud to do what they want but say hypothetically if kids lived in your home this would be inappropriate and unacceptable. Complain to the town home office first

  3. NTA – it would really depend on how you do it. I wouldn’t make a point to go there to specifically talk about it. When you do see them, you can let them know the walls are pretty thin and let’s just say, you know they have a healthy sex life. You can also say “one day you forgot her husband’s name, but luckily your guest heard it at dinner”.

  4. One way to avoid that extremely uncomfortable conversation is to have super duper loud sex of your own, every single time you hear them, get it on even louder.

  5. YWBTA, maybe instead of complaining put it in more like a joke, for example when you see them that you wish everyone would have such a wonderful time every day but that you don’t know if you would like the whole world to be listening in.

  6. NTA

    As long as you put it in a nice way it shouldn’t be an issue because they seem receptive. Just saying I would wanna know if my neighbors could hear my husband and I 🤷🏻‍♀️

  7. Your walls must be paper thin. We live in a townhouse with neighbors on both sides hooked to our house. On one side is an elderly couple and the other is a Father, his daughter, 2 granddaughters. One is in middle school and the other is 4 years old. I’ve never heard anything from either side except when someone was hammering what I figured was a nail to hang up something. Don’t hear tv’s or any crying even when the 4 year old was an infant.

  8. Maybe I’m waaaaaay out of line. Maybe I’m an asshole but I would go the “creep them the fuck out” strategy and tell them my dinner guest is begging to come back over again because they liked their performance… Now reading that back, I am the asshole. Just ask nicely for them to keep it down.

  9. I would slip a note under their door. it doesn’t have to say which neighbour it is on the note. Just say that you can hear them and to keep it down.
