He is damn ugly. And I understand Liotte.
Sleep is a marvelous thing.
I miss my last neighbor she was quiet and a flight attendant.
Hardly ever here.

"Play. Showtunes. Loudly."

Liotte I have the exact same problem as you. But not only can I hear the next door neighbors, I can hear the ones above me as well.

PalJoey has given very wise words. Except, I don't play showtunes. I play gospel music.

Get yourself a cd of Vestal Goodman (who is the Ethel Merman of gospel music). Think of Ethel Merman singing "Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me". Nobody can have a good time when they are making love to gospel music!!

Why do I feel like the mother in Oh Dad, Poor Dad...: "I broke up six couples tonight". LOL

I had neighbors like that when I lived in Chicago....SO, I taped them.......and sent them a copy for Xmas.......with a card thanking them for the sound effects........
Funny, after that, I rarely heard them get loud again........

Actually, a more practical solution.

Get yourself a box fan. Make sure you test it in the store first. You want one where the motor makes noise. When the neighbor's noise starts, turn the fan on its highest speed. The fan creates white noise which is more steady and blocks out the other noise. Unfortunately, stupid fan manufacturers these days are trying to make quieter fans. But I've had mine for 20 years and it has rarely failed me.

Broadwayboobs and I will send one of our special bleach spewing water guns. Hit them in the eyes, it burns.

Elphaba- I just spit coffee all over my monitor. Wow! That is a great one. That would shut me up, acctually it would probably scar me for life and I would never make a sound again.

I have neighbors across the street who put on quite a show every Wednesday (though lately it's been more frequently). Fortunately, I can't hear them.

My upstairs neighbors have two small children. They never have sex anymore.

Addy - as to your second paragraph - we have three children? Sigh....

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 5/6/05 at 10:01am

So what Addy is saying.....adopt some children for them and they'll stop.

Well, at least your neighbors have a...healthy relationship. Any time my neighbor gets visited by her boyfriend they're guaranteed to start a screaming argument that will last at least an hour. My loud music of choice is Follies. :)

Yes I have had both the loud sex neighbors and the screaming breaking dishes neighbors, I'd take the sex anytime.
Also not a fan of the drunken frat boys screaming outside my window at 3:30 AM.

It was so nice to have a reprieve the past few days...

But alas, they're baaaack!

Stupid &$!&#$% neighbors!!!!!

liotte, I feel your pain.

No really...every night.

I have the neighbors downstairs....the woman and her "good for nothing, alcholic a------" boyfriend (her words to him nightly, not mine). They fight 6 days a week, and REST on the seventh (and by rest, I mean they have loud sex).

Then I have the neighbors on the other side, who play the lovely rap music at all hours and then fight in the parking lane in front of the apt complex the rest of the time. Oh yeah, the other night I am awakened at 4am because a car alarm is going off. I look outside..it is the lovely "other neighbor" woman, standing in front of her car, watching the car as the alarm keeps going off, but doing nothing to stop it. I didn't understand until the next morning, when I leave and see her boyfriend sleeping in the backseat of the car. I guess she felt it was time to wake him up with the car alarm.

We don't matter of course. We are the incidental other 200 units in the complex.

NYC living just sucks. And I hate having to deal with it. I don't want to say I am glad other people have this issue too, because no one should have to deal with this, but it's comforting to know that it isn't just my neighbors but everyone else's too.

u guys have no idea. at least you're in teh same buildings. no houses here have insulation. we can hear the neighbor's who are in a different HOUSE having sex. and everyone's phone ringing. and we're all in different houses... not even apartments. houses. ugh.

Leave a note pretending to be their downstairs neighbor, saying that they're knocking the plaster off the ceiling and could they please try to keep it down. That's what my roommate wanted to do when our neighbors down the hall insisted on having ass-thumpin' sex all the time...

Next time you run into her in the elevator or by the mailbox, off-handedly ask her if she swallows or rides the Hershey highway. "from your performance, I would have thought your boyfriend would have expected you to!"

This is even better if you have witnesses.
