Woman Issued Noise Order For Having Sex Too Loud
- Rating: No Rating
I was reading this article. LOL
Caroline and Steve Cartwright's love making was described as ''murder'' and ''unnatural'' and drowned out their neighbours' televisions.
Even the local postman and a woman, who walked past the house taking her child to school, complained and she was given a noise abatement order.
Now Mrs Cartwright is appealing a conviction by magistrates for breaching a noise abatement notice that banned the couple from ''shouting, screaming or vocalisation at such a level as to be a statutory nuisance''.
She is using Article 8 of the Human Rights Act to argue that she has a right to ''respect for her private and family life''.
Mrs Cartwright, of Washington, Tyne and Wear, is also arguing that she cannot help making the noise and has instructed a sexual psychologist to give evidence on her behalf.
Rachel O'Connor, a neighbour, said she was frequently late for work because she overslept having been awake most of the night because of the noise.
''It is not very pleasant living there and it has been quite stressful,'' she told the court.
''I always feel intimidated living there. I was aware of it when I first moved in but I did not believe it would be this bad.''
Specialist equipment installed in Miss O'Connor's flat by Sunderland City Council recorded noise levels of between 30 to 40 decibels, with the highest being 47 decibels.
Marion Dixon, an environmental health manager with the council, told the hearing what happened when the Cartwrights were confronted by the council with the neighbours' complaints.
''Mr Cartwright held his head in his hands but Mrs Cartwright seemed to find it quite amusing,'' she said.
''I told them at the time that the council found this extremely serious and was considering serving them with a noise abatement notice.
''She was adamant she could not stop the noise and had always done it.''
The case continues

Cougar $pice said:My friend works for a rental office and a tenant complained that the couple above her son's room were too loud. Her 3yr son is walking around saying 'give it to me Simon, give it to me'. They got louder when she complained and started doing it in EVERY ROOM. They're still there. LOL
Ashley Banks said:I lived ABOVE a screamer, it was the worst month of my life. It wasn't that "in the moment" screaming, that I can take (and will high five you when I see you). She was SCREAMING like someone was murdering her. I really thought someone was beating her and called security just to find out she was a screamer. She was kicked out of the building about a month after that. PRAISE HIM!
