"A wave of “sex mayhem” has apparently been sweeping New York City, prompting residents to lodge an increasing number of noise complaints to a government helpline.
New York is no stranger to noise complaints - New Yorkers file as many as 75,000 a month - but new 311 call data obtained by Patch has revealed that many recent complaints arise from those disturbed by their neighbors’ late-night ventures.
From 19 February 2021 to 9 February this year, the website reported, the official helpline received 277 complaints about noisy sex. Queens produced the most, with 103. Manhattan came second with 66 while Brooklyn produced 55, the Bronx 48 and Staten Island four.
In Cross Bay Boulevard, in Queens, 56 complaints were logged about “hippies” allegedly dressing up as Freddy Krueger, Pennywise and the Easter Bunny while engaging in coital revelry as the theme song of Velveteen Dream, a pro wrestler, blasted in the background."

I used to be the manager of my families hotel, I can confirm that there are a lot of complaints of loud sex noise. The way I see it; people get turned on by being somewhere different or away from the kids. I'm all for anything that gets people in the mood and banging. Enjoy life to the fullest!!

[@jeremyrosal6049]

I mean in a hotel I get the need to ask them to at least keep it down a little if it's like the middle of the night or super early morning. It's just a wall separating people.

[@marky3609]

So the thing is as soon the cops knock on door to say there's a noise complaint it kinda kills the whole mood and would probably kill any sex noises. So I could see why residents would call about that honestly as it would probably pretty effective actually.

[@christianm7294]

If you have kids, it may be tough to ignore it.

If you haven't had the police called because your neighbours think you're murdering(only happened the one time) some woman, you ain't doing it right...

[@loristewart800]

LOL!

[@smoothsoulbrotha]

Why is this even reportable? Just be respectful of your neighbors by being aware of your own noise level. Had a neighbor purposely have loud sex late at night while I was on an OBGYN rotation in medical school where I was getting up to be present at 5am. I was tired an unable to function after trying to ignore it for 2 weeks. The OB floor was actually so kind to me and let me rest in the on call room when they questioned why I was so exhausted and sluggish. As for the neighbor, he was told by the landlord that if he didn't stop, he would be evicted. When will certain adults grow up?

[@daves2354]

Plot twist; years later as an accomplished OBGYN it would be you that would insert something into the neighbor's girl. With that, the wheel of karma had come full circle

[@boschblue]

That might be a side effect of our housing crisis where people are now squeezed like sardines in a can. Modern housing is really tight, really dense, really depressive. Privacy and silence increasingly are things only the rich can afford. Especially in the densely populated big cities.

If its loud noises (ANY NOISES) at late hours on a consistent basis, then YES that is a problem! If complaints are from a middle aged unhappy couple being nosy and searching for sex noises during the day or evening so they can get angry, that's a problem in the other direction.

Hello from Leicester, UK . I worked in a hotel for 21 years, not uncommon for guests to ring reception and complain about noise from other guests, this would happen several times a week, not once did I knock on the doors and tell them to keep the noise down, why should I ruin a couples (or sometimes more) fun.

[@devondevon4366]

Staten Island is not only the least populous of the six boroughs, but it has the lowest population density of the six. The population density of Manhattan, for example, is about 10 times that of Staten Island. Keep in mind that NYC with 8.8 million inhabitants is the 10 most densely populated city in the world and the most densely populated city in the USA. Edit: If you put equally number of people in each square mile ( after dividing the total NYC area in one square mile each), you could fit 27,000 people in each square mile. 1 out of ever 38 people living in the USA lives in New York City.

To all of the people thinking this is funny. Hearing “Oh my God!” “It hurts” Like 800 times incessantly, and not kidding three days in a row none stop. It’s truly sickening. I can hear it while I’m doing my chores around the house. Am I supposed to walk around my house with ear plugs on or loud music? I just want some peace and quiet. Is that too much to ask? Just because a person can do a thing does not mean they should do a thing. Even more so when I walk outside down the back quarter mile behind my house I can still hear it.
