More than two-thirds of people living in New York hear their neighbours\u2019 moaning, bumping and grinding, reveals a survey.<\/p>\n
The news and information site for homeowners BrickUnderground.com found that nearly half of the 400 residents quizzed heard their neighbour having sex.<\/p>\n
Most common sounds heard through the walls were thumping (60 percent), moaning (56 percent), screaming (28 percent) and \u201cother\u201d (23 percent), the survey showed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat this shows is if you live in New York City, you don\u2019t need to worry about keeping quiet in bed on Valentine\u2019s Day, because the chances are slim that someone is going to complain,\u201d the New York Post quoted BrickUnderground\u2019s founder Teri Karush Rogers, as saying.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the other hand, the morning-after elevator ride could be awkward,\u201d Rogers added.<\/p>\n
Resident Melissa Buck, 29, of the Upper East Side, revealed: \u201cIt\u2019s like a train wreck-you have to stop what you\u2019re doing and listen, even if it\u2019s awful.<\/p>\n
\u201cA friend and I were cooking dinner at 6:30, while it was still light out, and we heard the neighbors. Why can you always hear the girl? It lasted probably 10 minutes, and we had to stop cooking and listen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another dweller Leslie Vandike, 30, of East New York, Brooklyn, added: \u201cLast summer, I was having a barbecue. Everybody was outside. Suddenly, we hear this loud screaming,\u201d he said. \u201cUpstairs, our neighbor was having sex. Everybody was like, \u2018You go, girl,\u2019 cheering them on.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe never heard anything else after that.\u201d<\/p>\n
