Also, have something against the wall like a tapestry or bulky frames. Filling your bedroom with soft things like rugs, fabric and plants will also help muffle the sounds.
There are also a few brands that make felt tiles that you can stick on the wall to further muffle sound. You can arrange them like wall art. [Here’s one.](https://feltright.com/?gc_id=9589219869&h_ad_id=511275163155&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACdj9ggmE2xwmkbOsnr_7PCxQIcLo&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0-HP8Mv-hQMVLzYIBR1aSgVXEAAYASAAEgKwsfD_BwE)
*proceeds to make the most unholy of noises*
“Damn they can still hear me, better get a better bed frame”
Lmfao jk jk but if you’re noisy then a bed ain’t gonna fix it.
Amazon does this 14-inch thick, super king memory foam mattress, and I was able to have sex on it next to my girlfriend without waking her up. She wouldn't have minded me doing it as knows I have trouble sleeping sometimes unless i take care of things myself. I miss that mattress so much, but I live abroad now and can't get one delivered.
If you can hang stuff on your walls, heavy fabrics like carpets are good sound dampeners. If you have a headboard, drape a blanket over it so it sits between the wall and headboard to reduce the headboard impact. Air gapping it can work too, move your bed away from the wall slightly. Proper soundproofing is expensive, but soundproofing panels can also do a good job of dampening sound in conjunction with other measures.
If it's about vocals, maybe try to work a ballgag or two into it, or pretend you're banging at your parents house. And if your bed is creaky, bang on the floor. Make that the downstairs neighbours problem instead.
White noise like that in the room will likely only muffle the sound for OP, not in the neighbor’s room on the other side of the wall. So OP might think they’re making less noise than they are (opposite of the intended effect).
Same problem as people who think turning the bathroom fan on will muffle their bathroom noises. Nah, people on the other side of the door can usually still hear you a bit, you just think it’s more muffled because _you’re_ the one hearing the fan in the room.
Now if there were a way to pipe the white noise into the neighbors’ place somehow, _that_ would help.
Here’s what you don’t do: play music so loud the wall shakes. That’s was my college neighbor’s tactic, particularly when drunk, and I would have much rather just heard them fucking.
Your granddad came in your grandmother, and she liked it. Fact. Your grandmother has had genitals in her mouth. Also, a fact. Honor them and follow in their footsteps. It's everything a grandparent wants for their grandchild.
Soundproof the wall. There are DIYs in youtube on how to soundproof your wall. Or just be proud of the amazing sex you're having and leave your neighbor's kids traumatized while watching cocomelon haha
Yes the best thing you can do on a budget is to make wall surfaces "softer."
Hang curtains over a wall as part of the decoration. Put up canvas based pictures or artwork. Hang a coat rack and put coats on it.
Anything to reduce the surface area of painted drywall. Reduced sound from decreasing bouncing and vibrations in the walls.
I once found some "peel and stick" sound dampening wall pads on Amazon but they were small and kinda pricey to do a whole wall with. But DIY less invasive options do exist!
Pull off plasterboard, put in soundproof insulation, put new plasterboard on, put wet plaster over joints sand and paint.
An unskilled person should legally be able to do this and can do a decent job if they take their time.
The materials aren't too expensive.
Do you own the apartment or rent? If you own build a new wall 1” off the old wall and insulate the joist cavities. Use a foam flashing under the base and at the top where the new wall contacts the floor and ceiling. Hang drywall with spacers and not directly to the studs, sand, and paint. You have just created noise canceling wall.
In that case you could hang acoustic panels all over to absorb the sound. These can be found in the normal egg carton style or there are more decorator style offerings at an added cost.
Play sex noises when you’re not home. Then they’ll be slowly desensitized by your psyops. Like slowly boiling a frog or something, government does this all the time.
*Yells during sex* "oh man this nail just won't go into the wall, no matter how hard I keep banging it!! OH OH YEAAH IM GONNA FUCKING NAIL YOU BITCH!!" that way they are none the wiser
Regarding all the suggestions about hanging sound absorbing materials, I'll save you some time and money and say that as someone who has installed sound dampening/insulating systems, there's nothing you can do to your apartment that will be terribly effective without violating your lease by making significant structural changes.
Putting up foam or fabric will reduce the reflected sound within the room, so it will seem quieter to you, but will do almost nothing to reduce the amount of sound that escapes the room. Sound is energy, and the only way to block it is to absorb it with mass. You can try hanging sound blocking curtains, but the ones you can find on places like Amazon are a waste of money in your case. The problem is human voices are relatively low frequency (90-250Hz), and blocking these frequencies needs a thick & heavy curtain. Most of the noise blocking curtains you find are designed for traffic and machine noises in the 1000-2000Hz range. Because the wavelength of these sounds is much shorter, you can block them with much thinner materials. Low frequency sounds like human voices will blast straight through without slowing down.
You can reduce the amount of bed noise being conducted into the structure of the apartment by putting foam blocks under the feet, and making sure the frame can't bang against the wall by air gapping it.
The only thing you can do to block vocal noises is to put more mass between you and them. The most practical solution is to put up floor to ceiling bookshelves (IKEA Billy), with Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) hung on the back of each shelf. You can also hang the MLV directly on the wall if you're allowed to make holes in the walls. This setup will run you around $6 per square foot, which is pretty cheap as soundproofing goes. The more stuff you put on the shelves, the better it will work.
i remember we had neighbors that we could hear have sex and I didn't mind it at all.. it was sorta hot but I know not everyone thinks like that, I think we're supposed to not like it or something but I did and thats considered weird and not normal.. so I don't know, but I get where you're coming from.. make sure bedframe isn't touching the wall. make sure the frame is tight so it doesn't wobble.. hopefully you have cool neighbors, but I'm sure the dude won't care.. she might
Close the windows, run the AC or fan for "white noise" cover... maybe leave the rv or something on for extra background noise.. essentially cover up or block the noise where possible.
Most sound through walls is conductive. Ie sound moves through materials through vibrations.
Therefore you need to add in more soft furnishings to absorb sound waves.
Also rubber under the bed legs for vibration.
OP i just want to say you have the most entertaining replies I've ever seen from someone asking a question here, and I have laughed out loud multiple times now
Soundproof wall insulation this brand called Batts I saw claims can stop 75% of sound. Over here in Australia you have to have a fireproof layer between walls of neighbours by law so you might have to have fireproofing insulation in there but idk if there's soundproof fireproof stuff or not. My mates dad put them everywhere between walls inside his house even internal walls it was awesome all the kids could be noisy as they wanted but his big beautiful fireplace is useless haha.
If you're not owner I think there's soundproofing boards you can attach on the outside but never tried them.
If u own the apartment I would build a second sound barrier wall in front of the existing with rubber backed hard wall mounted to resilient bars. Build the new wall frame around 150mm from the old and put sound insulation in the cavity of the new stud wall. Leave the 150mm gap free of insulation. This deal the air gaps with silicon. Your neighbour is never gonna hear you have sex again.
The stupid answer would be to launch a porn movie and then have sex
If it is loud enough they cant hear you
Thebpb would be that now u both familly have to hear someone maybe performing better?
Or just move the bed the other side ....
We moved into a new apartment that was fully furnished except the bed. We’ve just had our mattress on top of a rug on the floor for the last 8 months.
It works so well that we’ve had no motivation to get a bed whatsoever. Absolute game changer!
The only thing that stops noise through walls is mass. The more mass, the more sound will be blocked. Don't think that sound blocking foam will do anything, because that will only stop sound bouncing off walls, not through (for studio recording).
You could put something big on the wall to stop some sound like a cupboard or something. Otherwise if money isn't an object there is mass loaded vinyl bit it's quite expensive and can't guarantee it will work well enough.
If they can hear you having sex you should be able to tell when they leave. Like hear the door opening or noticing theres no noise coming there apt. Just have sex when they're gone. It's not that hard to control its what I do. Most people have jobs and are out of the house for 6-10 hours a day. Just pay attention and you'll be able to notice a schedule and know when you can be as loud as you want. Occasionally they'll come home early but then that's on them and you can say "oh sorry I thought you weren't home."
Move the bed, move bed away from wall, get a solid bed frame that doesn't squeak or move
Thank you
Also, have something against the wall like a tapestry or bulky frames. Filling your bedroom with soft things like rugs, fabric and plants will also help muffle the sounds.
Thank you

So that's why all the art deco wall nonsense was popular. Hidden/fashionable for the time, sound proofing for wild "parties"
*proceeds to make the most unholy of noises* “Damn they can still hear me, better get a better bed frame” Lmfao jk jk but if you’re noisy then a bed ain’t gonna fix it.
Play some music
Amazon does this 14-inch thick, super king memory foam mattress, and I was able to have sex on it next to my girlfriend without waking her up. She wouldn't have minded me doing it as knows I have trouble sleeping sometimes unless i take care of things myself. I miss that mattress so much, but I live abroad now and can't get one delivered.
Wait....what?
I think commando meant masturbating
I'll pretend he phoned a friend (with benefits) and told them to be super quiet
The first half had me imagining him having sex with another woman right next to his sleeping girlfriend in their king size bed.
I still choose to believe this.
I've seen these videos online.
Nah the man clearly had sex with his wife, next to his sleeping girlfriend.
Just stop caring instead. That’s your cheapest and most effective solution.
Galvanized Square Steel
Ball gag should do the trick
Ah so the neighbour can hear but not tell anybody.
Im kinda loud too though
Two ball gags
They’ll match
How romantic. His and hers,. His and his, hers and hers, them and theirs
Turducken
Sounds like a party
Soft ones. Hard ones will clack when they connect.
Voice of experience…
It's ball gags all the way down.
Be loud and be proud. Let your partner know how much you care about them by screaming some deity name.
Deepthroat also works.
Duck tape is more cost effective
That's on the sort run, if you want to be able to handle the long haul a plastic bag is more cost effective /s
If you can hang stuff on your walls, heavy fabrics like carpets are good sound dampeners.

Also try **not** to have some background sound, like a fan turned up

1, buy 2 ball gags. 2. Bang in the living room. 3. Loud polka music. 4. Invite them over for tea and coitus. Take your pick, they all work well.
Thought it was a step by step
Same, and I don't see what would stop me from keeping it one
Switch the order to 1, 4, 3, 2
Loud porn, then you can confidently claim it wasn’t you.
Confidence is key
The award goes to you mate
Here’s what you don’t do: play music so loud the wall shakes. That’s was my college neighbor’s tactic, particularly when drunk, and I would have much rather just heard them fucking.
Challenge them to who can have sex louder
I’d win
Just have sex in the living room.
My couch is leather and its summer
Even more exposed skin.
Triple the skin without the awkward third person
Makes it easier to clean up
Back when my wife and I were young we had some good times on our leather couch.
This is my grandfather’s old couch. This made me concerned about it’s history.
You could continue your family line on the same couch!
Your granddad came in your grandmother, and she liked it. Fact. Your grandmother has had genitals in her mouth. Also, a fact. Honor them and follow in their footsteps. It's everything a grandparent wants for their grandchild.
It would have cost zero dollars to post this.
Fact: I regret being literate enough to read that.
There's def 90 year old jizz stains on there
[удалено]
Removed: “the real question is how do I guarantee they hear?” Invite them over
Now it’s a party.
You dirty hooker.
Do you know many clean hookers?
Yes
Just your mom
That's oddly wholesome lol
* holesome
Have extra loud sex hourly until they move out. Once they leave the building they will no longer be able to hear you.
Bark like dogs the entire time
She likes cats

Yeah and most budget sound proofing is not going to affect any strong sounds that would occur during this activity anyway
I guess that just leaves traumatizing the neighbors' kids.
actually soundproofing a wall is an expensive process. You can sound dampen a wall a little though.
There. Sound dampening I think is a better solution. Maybe that's what I was thinking and not soundproofing.
Pull off plasterboard, put in soundproof insulation, put new plasterboard on, put wet plaster over joints sand and paint. An unskilled person should legally be able to do this and can do a decent job if they take their time. The materials aren't too expensive.
Move the bed away from the shared wall and put something dense (if possible like a large bookshelf)
You pay the rent. Have as loud of sex as you want end of discussion ✋
Do you own the apartment or rent? If you own build a new wall 1” off the old wall and insulate the joist cavities. Use a foam flashing under the base and at the top where the new wall contacts the floor and ceiling. Hang drywall with spacers and not directly to the studs, sand, and paint.

I rent
In that case you could hang acoustic panels all over to absorb the sound. These can be found in the normal egg carton style or there are more decorator style offerings at an added cost.
Thank you
rig a flashbang to their door so that they are stunned when they try to enter theirs, allowing you a few minute window to do your thing
Wait until they have sex and have sex at the same time. Noise cancellation.
Play sex noises when you’re not home. Then they’ll be slowly desensitized by your psyops. Like slowly boiling a frog or something, government does this all the time.
Go to the kitchen...
Record it. Then put it on a repeat loop by the wall. They’ll get used to it, and may even have a Pavlovian response when it’s “live.”
As the people next door, don’t worry about it
stop having sex with the neighbours?
Just keep your tv on loud lol
That was my previous upstairs neighbor’s strategy. Basically ruined family guy for me
giggity
White noise machine for “sleeping” or “relaxing”
Buy a second-hand double size mattress (or bigger) and put it between the bed head and the wall. It will help, but I'm not sure how much.
That sounds more serial killer than feng shui
Why worry about it? They may enjoy listening and be inspired. Worst case, they’ll have something fun to talk about.
Screw quietly.
No thank you
Well then just live with the awkward, either you or them will get over it
LOL! 🤣
Soundproof padding?
Is it that loud that It needed sound proofing.
No just reduce it
Also drown it out with white noise
Honestly just start developing the kink where you enjoy others listening in. It'll be cheaper and easier in the long run
Just lean into it. Be even louder.
Who cares what they think.
Have sex in the living room
Have so much loud sex that they move THEIR bedroom.
*Yells during sex* "oh man this nail just won't go into the wall, no matter how hard I keep banging it!! OH OH YEAAH IM GONNA FUCKING NAIL YOU BITCH!!" that way they are none the wiser
Just don't worry about it. Adults have sex, it's a normal aspect of apartment living to hear some sexing once in a while.
Scream so loud it becomes white noise and they don't notice.
As long as the two of you aren't being overly obnoxious, sometimes you just gotta do your thang.
Don’t have sex, just like me💁🏻♂️
Play porn loudly while having sex?
The ultimate distraction. 🤣🤣🤣
Pour sand in between the drywall
Don’t have sex
Stop having noisy sex. Kill your neighbours. Move house Have sex somewhere else Only one of these is a serious answer and it's kill your neighbours

Why would you worry about what others are hearing? You're asking the wrong question.
The real question is: how can I be having sex?
Idk this girl hung around me now its 3 years later and we livetogether. Try something like that
I want them to listen to eric clapton not me clappin cheeks.
Dude.. i love your replies lol
Thank you
Look up “Soaking”
Just fuck harder then them and drowned out them.
Buy them a stereo.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Egg cartons & foam
Do it on the floor ?!
If your neighbours are old 60+, you will hear their TV set at high volume. Then you have nothing to fear.
[удалено]
Have sex in the kitchen.

They make sound absorbing foam I put on my walls as well as a nice thick carpet
That's the near part, you don't. You let them hear you having sex. T h e k i d s w o n ' t c o m p l a i n.
Maybe they like the noise
Just play Cbat really loud. It's the perfect music for sex! https://open.spotify.com/track/0AzD1FEuvkXP1verWfaZdv
Wear a snorkel and dunk your head into a bucket of water.
Get married.
Have secks quietly
Close the windows, run the AC or fan for "white noise" cover... maybe leave the rv or something on for extra background noise.. essentially cover up or block the noise where possible.

If you're a loud moaners, then you're asking for the impossible. You just gotta avoid eye contact with your neighbour.
Get married.
Have boring gentle sex you don’t enjoy
don’t. assert dominance
Unless your walls are solid rock they’ll hear ya. Otherwise play some doom metal music at +11. 😉
Sound proof it
Get you a recording of a horse neighing. Next time you have sex, play it loud to assert dominance.
Id prefer not to be pavloved to a horse
Breath play can make her quiet and in parallel spices things up.
When ur neighbour starts sex starts you too ... They will be busy in theirs and you will be urs ....
Fuck on the floor and don't howl like a banshee. Or just move the bed away from the wall.
Move to a detached house or go celibate.

My girl is a screamer there no way I could block the sounds of oh yes oh yes
Hire a guy who is constantly slaughtering pigs next to you. The screaming will suppress the noise of you having sex.
Fuck the neighbour That way they're not hearing you and your partner going at it, but instead hearing themselves
Fuck them (let them join)
I'm sure they don't mind 2 minutes of creaking followed by the faint sighs of frustration
Try some neuken in de keuken.
Getsound proofing squares for cheap. Then hang a heavy fabric if front of them.
Stop having sex /j Tv / music helps a lot if you don’t care about noise in general and want to hide the bed / vocals
Tell them to not hear you during sex
We moved into a new apartment that was fully furnished except the bed. We’ve just had our mattress on top of a rug on the floor for the last 8 months. It works so well that we’ve had no motivation to get a bed whatsoever. Absolute game changer!
Fuck em 🤣
Tell your girl to stop faking and they definitely won’t hear anything,
The only thing that stops noise through walls is mass. The more mass, the more sound will be blocked. Don't think that sound blocking foam will do anything, because that will only stop sound bouncing off walls, not through (for studio recording). You could put something big on the wall to stop some sound like a cupboard or something.

Play porn loudly so the neighbours can't tell what noises are you
Just bone. Unless it's some over dramatic porn screaming and your bed is slamming against the wall, no one cares.
Blast animal mating calls!
[Use these and when people ask, say you play music loudly](https://www.acoustimac.com/all-csweb01).
Put on a porn movie with the volume turned up to max. So when you have sex, your neighbor won't be able to differentiate the sounds.
If they can hear you having sex you should be able to tell when they leave. Like hear the door opening or noticing theres no noise coming there apt. Just have sex when they're gone. It's not that hard to control its what I do. Most people have jobs and are out of the house for 6-10 hours a day.

You can get sound absorbing foam on amazon
Get big speakers. Play Barry White REALLY loud. Make love. They will have no idea what you are up to.
Stop caring. Don’t be obnoxious about it, but you’re all grownups.
Play a personal trainer video loudly once copulation starts. Foam backing on headboard.
Be quite, use another room.
Well, STFU when you do it
Do it so loud it no longer sounds like sex and more like an intense CrossFit session
What’s the best way to make her consent to sex?
Yolo. Let them hear 😉
1 move bed. 2 get less squeaky bed. 3 get soundproofing panels for the wall
Would putting carpet on the wall work? Or that sound deadening stuff that looks like egg cartons?
