[QUOTE=Sleeps With Butterflies] She knows she’s being loud and makes comments about the neighbors probably hating her? I’m going with insecurity and doing it for attention. Some women (note I said some) thing extra loud = great in bed. [/QUOTE] Hey, its early Spring!

[Obligatory relevant XKCD link](http://xkcd.com/316/)🆒 I knew a guy in college who, when his neighbors had loud sex would turn his very large speakers around to face the wall and put on death metal music at an unreasonably high volume. ---

Help me understand this “Loud Sex” thing. Are we uttering unintelligibles or are we giving instructions, encouragement and suggestions? Something else I’m not thinking about? It’s a little embarassing, but I really have no idea. ---

Once I was staying in a hotel in Singapore and the couple in the room next door were being really noisy, with the bed banging against the wall between our two rooms. I needed to sleep because I had an early flight the next morning, so I picked up the phone and called their room number. The man answered (who answers the phone during sex???) and I just said, “I’m trying to sleep next door. Could you pull the bed away from the wall while you’re fucking?” The guy just mumbled, “Oh, oh, okay” and hung up. After that, it was nice and quiet! 😃 ---

Seems pretty clear to me – having sex while making enough noise to be heard, and it’s unmistakeably obvious what’s going on. The exact nature of the noise (“Oh, God!” or “Put your Left Testicle HERE!” or “More Mayonnaise!”, or, more likely, heavy breathing and inchoate moaning) isn’t important. In mu case (#15 above), the extreme rhythmic shaking of the entire apartment would’ve made it obvious, even without the loud breathing and moaning. ---

They’re at it again! (Second time this morning.) Spankings / slappings are getting louder, too. So, I guess he’s getting into the spirit of the thing. Anyone got a good sound recorder? ---

When I was in college, I shared a house for the summer with my boyfriend and his roommates. My parents stopped by for a surprise visit one Saturday morning as one of the roommates and his girlfriend were doing the deed. Loudly. Very loudly. It was one of the more mortifying experiences I can recall. We all feigned deafness, and I very quickly suggested a trip out for breakfast. ---
