    Make As Much noise during the day as possiable. Then at 5:59pm, be as Quiet as a Churchmouse.


    You get to be noisy, they get quiet evenings...


    That! or just move.

    Ye I would, wouldn't be able to stick that tbh, next time you move be more aware of how old the place is, type of walls/windows/floors, I know often it's hard to know how soundproof a place will be before you move in but you can get some clues.

    Why should you have to move OP,they are the noisy ones,keep complaining to them or if they complain to you again tell them to to sound proof their house :)

    Yeah exactly. The next time they moan at you just tell them that it goes both ways and you don't appreciate listening to them roidin' and shoitin' rings around themselves. As soon as they know you can hear them too they'll soon change their tune.

    Document every sound, along with the date and time and copious notes. Prepare a full monthly report and drop it in their letterbox regularly.

    I lived next to c*****ds like these for 3 years. Worst three years of my life. If I sneezed they were complaining about the noise. Complained one day about the desperate noise the night before, when nobody was in my house lol!
    Not worth it for the torture. Move.

    I nearly went next door to complain about the noise from the neighbours, untill I realized that it wasn't my neighbours, it was my neighbours two doors down. The party noise was travelling through two sets of walls and it actually sounded like it was coming from next door! It really goes to show how shocking building standards are. There needs to be laws regarding the soundproofing of apartments, interrupted sleep is an increecing physical and mental health issue for people thanks to the inadequite standards in the industry.

    Not good for your mental health OP

    get out of there and rent somewhere built before the bubble

    Exactly, and they must know well if they can hear noise from your house, that you can also hear them.
    Seriously, this can actually be very wearing on your health, if I were you, I would prefer to move.

    When they're banging away like rabbits fill in the quiet parts.

    "Oooh Ooooh" can become "Ooooh Ah Oooooh Ah Paul McGrath"

    Gather as many insets and creepy crawleys as you can in a large jar, fill the jar up with all sorts of multiple legged things.
    Pour contents in through their letter box.
    I saw it in a film, Pacific Heights.

    Yeah try that. Things seemed to work out pretty well for Michael Keaton in that movie if I remember correctly.

    buy a load of prune juice and leave it on the doorstep with a note that it will help with those tough moments, should help with part of the problem

    Tell them to put in some toilet paper first. Helps avoid the plops.

    I call it the silencer. It helps stop toilet water splashing back on your bum hole too.

    To me its serves the same purpose as the constant stream of coolant on a diamond blade concrete cutter

    The next time they are having a roll in the hay go in a bang on the door. When they answer tell them "I don't appreciate the noise you're making" and ask them to "keep the volume of their coital adventures to a minimum" (feel free to paraphrase). It'll be even more effective if its herself that answers the door looking all deshevelled and ridden. haha
