You and your arrays...
Prickly Pear?
I don't know the solution, other than it's a type of cactus and it fits the letters.

PRICKLY PEAR.
Very tasty, had some wild in Mexico once
Bit of an obvious clue really, it is just a cactus with fruit on it.

Few months ago, a young couple moved upstairs in our apartment complex. They are polite and friendly and keep it to themselves.
Whenever they have a party, they put on noticeboard warning of loud music and apologizing for it.
In Germany we have something called "Silent hours" from 10 PM to 6 AM, where there can be no loud sound in the apartment.
The only issue is that the women is a very loud screamer. So whenever they are doing it, she really screams/Moan a lot. Recently my 11 year daughter heard it and said dog is howling upstairs.
So should I approach them or just let it slide..?
cheers,
Super

You have a noticeboard.
A polite notice may help ... they may not realise others can hear.

This is actually the most sensible idea.
Only concern is not to endanger their sex lives. I am hoping its a passing clouds and will become boring soon.

Um. Don;t get your hopes up.
I'm sixty next month, and I ain't bored with "it" yet!

When I read that first line, my initial thought was that you were suggesting that, like with their parties, they should use the noticeboard to alert other that "it" will be happening tonight!

Make a recording of it and play it outside their door.

Set the recording as your ring-tone, and get someone to call you whilst you're talking to them.

If I was in your shoes, I would be honest about my daughter having heard them during the night and tell them that I'd be grateful if they could turn it down a bit.

If you knew a 11 year old girl could hear you every time you have sex, would you ever even do it again? It would sure put me off.
So what happens if they never do it again? Maybe it could cause the relationship to fall apart. Can you live with ruining a couple's happiness?
Perhaps the first conversation doesn't need to be so detailed, just a simple "you are a bit too noisy" and see what happens.
|
|

Or maybe they would consider moving elsewhere. It's not like they're stuck with that apartment.
|
|
|
|

Yeah, I suppose that is a possibility. Assuming they are in a good enough financial situation
I expect people won't just move to be polite though, would probably take some falling out to get to that stage, and "younger" people can be pretty arrogant. Saying something could easily make things worse, be careful what you wish for as they say.

I think if you read GKP1992's post again he wasn't saying to tell your 11 year old they are having sex. He is saying tell the upstarirs neighbours that your 11 year old daughter can hear them having sex. Might get them to shut up. Sex is fun and doesn't have to be noisy, if she's that loud maybe she can play Lassie in the next Porky's sequel.

Just put up lots of flyers about how too much sex can kill you, etc.
Basically, try to make them want to do it less.

Easy to do that - encourage them to get married.

Record it and sell it to a horror-movie studio.
Or another studio.

Let it slide. They are already lucky enough to have satisfying sex, no reason to ruin that for them.

So the neighbour isnt that pretty then.
Bit harsh of your daughter to call her a dog though.
