Today, after 3 days of interrupted sleep, I confronted my new neighbor about the noise his wife keeps making during their "private time". He then let me know the noise is actually from his daughter, who's mentally disabled and isn't taking the move well. FML

Today, I saw my upstairs neighbor outside getting the mail. She asked how my day was, and then apologized that the sound of her baby's crying through the walls kept me up last night. Apparently she heard me when I yelled at 2am for her fucking demon spawn to shut up. FML

Keep it down

Today, after my old downstairs neighbor, who would come upstairs to bang on my door and yell at me every time she heard a sound from me at all times of the day, had finally moved out, it became clear that my new downstairs neighbor gets drunk and yells at the TV in the early hours of the morning.

Today, and for the last 8 months my upstairs neighbours have been making a tremendous noise. I finally decided to go up to complain: "The amount of noise you make is unbelievable ! It sounds like you're driving tractors up here!". The woman replies: "My husband is paraplegic..." FML

Today, my new neighbours moved in. I had always thought my bedroom wall was soundproof, because my old neighbours never complained about my loud night terrors. Turns out they were just stone deaf. The new ones can hear everything. FML

Sort yourselves out

Today, I found out that I bought a house next door to crazy people. She asked me if I would mind not showering when her husband is at home, because he can hear me and knowing I’m naked on the other side of the wall turns him on, which is a nuisance for her. He’s unemployed. He’s always at home, the creep. FML

Neighbours from hell

Today, my new neighbours moved in. I've neither seen nor spoken to them yet; all I know is that they enjoy hammering at the walls for hours on end and repeatedly setting off the fire alarm. All this in the small hours of the morning. I got two hours of sleep. FML

Today, my step mom and her kids moved in. This is my first night sharing a room with her daughter. She snores, sleep talks, and sleep scratches the side of the bed creating a sound like nails on a chalkboard. FML

Today, I had to hear my neighbor whine again through the walls because he can't talk in a quiet voice. You can hear him from across the street, and that's before he gets drunk. FML

Today, working from home and to escape my own toddler, I moved my work area into the bedroom. Perfect timing for the neighbor's toddler to scream at the top of his lungs. All day long, underneath my bedroom. I just wanted some peace and quiet to work. FML

Today, my crackhead neighbour got slightly annoyed at my 2-day-old daughter's late-night wailing. Well, I think so, anyway, as she politely requested us to "SHUT THAT CUNT KID UP." or she would "BLOW BOTH OUR HOUSES UP, YOU FUCKING ASSFUCKS." But I'm not 100% sure. FML

OP's assumption was wrong but we don't choose our neighbors. Not everyone is asleep at night. And it's not always sex that's going on. There's always going to be those crazy nights that the neighbors dog wouldn't stop barking, or the neighbors kids were playing loud music, or someone is doing burnouts in the street which is dangerous. Hopefully OP can take some suggestions from people here and find a way to channel out the neighbors noise until the young girl adjusts to her new home.

Not making assumptions helps prevent additional awkwardness. Hope you get your sleep back soon!

Next time just ask about some sounds you heard and ask in a neutral way. Sucks though, but you couldn't have known..

Don't feel bad. The Jack ass could have come over and let you know his situation and that there might be a bit of noise now.

Yes you weren't to know. I'd have done the same thing. I think it might have been avoids of the neighbour told you and other neighbours if this happens.

As the mother of a severely disabled son that lives in an apartment. I make it a point to introduce myself to a new neighbors & explain (Not apologize) our situation. I also make them homemade candies & cookies periodically & offer to sign for deliveries if they are in class ( I'm home all day any way). OP should not feel bad, its an awkward situation.
