Knock on the door and when she answers give her a pillow and tell her "I think you need this"....should do the job.

This morning I had to go and fix a leaking tap in the back yard, so decided to go early so that I would miss peak traffic.
I was busy in the back yard when I heard this loud shouting (won't repeat the words because it is offensive) and I could hear the accelerated pace as the squeaking of the bed increased. (Yip, it's a turn-on but that's not the point).

Seriously, I did not know how bad it was. The entire neighbourhood must have heard her. It was 6am and quiet. I dropped the spanner on my foot when the first "Yes-yes ****" reached my ears. At first I thought it must be the neighbour but no, it definitely is the tenant. My other tenant, in all honesty, has reason to complain.

So, I have read all these replies and nothing that really helps. I also asked (BEGGED) my gf to have a woman to woman talk with the tenant but I could not even bribe my gf with a new pair of shoes. Sure, I could just go up to her and ask her to keep the vocals low but for the live of me, I cannot find the right words. Knowing myself, I would probably knock on the door and tell her to stop screaming when she has sex.

I'm considering an anonymous letter.

I don't live on the property.

MEANING: I am not there when it happens. This morning was pure co-incidence.

Yes, you are right and I should man up. But FFS, what if she gets the impression that I'm coming onto her. Call me a coward but other people's sex life is none of my business.

Give her a general call. During the call say "so by the way.... Other neighbours around are saying that your personal/intimate actions involve really loud noise, would she mind toning down those noise levels..."

We have an appointment for tomorrow late afternoon. Now that I have heard it, I have no choice but to address the issue.

I was hoping that there would be other people here who experienced this kind of situation, i.e. being the screamer and being asked to tone it down. She is a nice person and a good tenant, always paying on time. She is involved with charity work, over and above her full time job. I don't think she's aware that the walls are thin and that sound travels. My impression of her is that she is a compassionate, passionate and cheerful person. I could see no reason to hurt her feelings by approaching it with a wham-bam approach, which may make it difficult for her to face the neighbours again. This is, BTW, my GFs excuse for not getting involved. She says she would die of embarrassment if anyone (other than me or close family) had to tell her that she's too loud.

Thanks for the input.

Maybe try a letter first.

Sounds like you can have a nice civil chat.

Good luck.

One of my ex's was a screamer. Such a turn on! It became problematic when we were at her place and the young daughter was asleep next door though...

silence is golden duct tape is silver :D ;)
I`d say a letter or email then usually a lot easier than F2F conversations.

Say some of the other tennants complained about the noise level in general....
It doesn`t indicate that YOU heard her screams so things shouldn`t be awkward
and you can blame it on her TV or radio :D

Wife can be a bit of a screamer, we had a neighbor who hated noise, any noise after 8pm, if we let the dogs out to relieve themselves and the one barked then went inside he would complain, he was just that type of guy.

Anyway once the wife and I were going at it, she was getting loud and he stood outside our window and shouted "shut the fark up"

Wife laughed it off but I wanted to klap the guy as I was at that moment tired of his ***.

Side note, he stayed in the same complex as his ex wife and their 2 daughters but apparently ex told him to leave.

Why do you have to mention the specific noise?

Just say that you have received complaints about noise and that you have heard the noise level before and agree that its a bit excessive.

Then say you will be grateful if she can find a way to tone the noise levels down a bit to accommodate others.

That is wussing out man. If you put it like that, it is obvious to her what noise he means. And also obvious that he is too much of a wuss to say it outright.

The best advice so far has been. Telling her straight, but acting as though he has not heard the noise, only that complaints have been made.

Its not wussing out, its trying to respect her privacy.
Sure she should know what you are talking about but she will hopefully not be embarrassed and as a result try and defend her actions or worse get angry at him for being so crass about it.

I still dont see a reason why a noise complaint should mention the specific reason for the noise.
