Watched some foreign show about how to live with noisy neighbors. Family with 2 y/old is having a couple above who are having sex every day starting at 11pm to 2am. Small child can't sleep. Mom is crying because no one wants to get involved. Police don't know what to do either. It is kind of disturbance that you can't tell people to stop. We were laughing but come to think of that...seriously! What do you do in situation like that.

First move the 2 yo to a room not under the romantics. Insulation is needed so if you could do something indoors with the walls and ceiling like putting up some sheets of foam or quilts of some kind it would reduce the noise. Then get white noise like a fan or playing music or leaving the TV or radio on. It the problem is human noise you could ask them to hold it down if squeaks ask them to oil, ask them to put a rug under the bed. Or ask how they are able to achieve 3 hours a night and sell the secret so you can afford to move.

And there were lots of questions about that timing. Trust me. Some even said couple were jealous. Woman said she went up with a child in her hands and man opened the door - he was sweaty and huge and said 'we are asleep' so I guess no rug under the bed

Put music right next to wall. At 2 am when they want to sleep off their rousing sex, blast it. Especially if you have bass!

Did it mention what to do about neighbors who were obsessed with fire?
My neighbor chain smokes, sets off fireworks every July 4th and New Years Eve, and has a tiki torch type of thing burning away during the summer. I just want to put up a large wall made of asbestos between our two properties
