From the Forum: Noisy Neighbor With New Girlfriend

A reader sent in an interesting dilemma for us to post to the forum: What do you do when your neighbor gets a new girlfriend, and the two of them start making so much, um, exuberant noise that your eight-year-old son starts asking you questions about it?

Brownstoner readers offer remedies that range from explaining the birds and bees to your kid, to an oblique hint to the neighbor that the walls are not as soundproof as he might have assumed. And then, somehow, the discussion evolves into a spirited round of literary puns.

What to do about noisy neighbor with new girlfriend

Whichever approach the reader decides to go with, we assume it will eventually end up as a New York Post story. But this is New York, where we expect loud noise. In the UK, a Birmingham woman was recently jailed for ignoring a court order to pipe down in the bedroom.
