STOCKHOLM, Sweden - A Swedish woman, tired of the noise made by her amorous neighbors in the apartment above, took her quest for some peace and quiet to an official environmental health committee.
Jon Persson, who works with the local health committee in Simrishamn, some 382 miles south of the capital, Stockholm, said Thursday that the woman said she was "distressed, angry and tense all over" because her neighbors make love loudly almost nightly.
He said it was the first time he can recall such a complaint ever being filed in the Scandinavian country. Typically, most disputes get settled between neighbors and don't require government intervention.
The woman, who was not identified, complained that the lovemaking usually starts around 10 p.m. and lasts well past midnight, sometimes to 1 a.m., Persson said.
According to a copy of her complaint, she said the lovers' efforts have left her with tense headaches, cramps and heartburn.
"You are my last hope, please help me," the woman wrote in the complaint, according to Persson.
Persson said he's not entirely sure how to help the woman, noting that it's the landlord of the apartment building "whose duty it is to make sure the nuisance stops."
Persson said his committee could visit the woman's apartment and measure the noise levels, but said it might be hard to do that because "we don't know in advance when the disturbances will occur."
nah...just an observer of human nature
Thanks..great film...
OK..if you say so..(g)
Where do I buy the compact disc? I'll add it to my sounds of nature collection.

"Your momma sure cares about your education, Forrest!"
"Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. . . "
It seemed like a good idea-After all, they would not be playing loud music at odd hours, etc.!
But it got to the point they were scaring his children, not just by the decible level and frequency, but because of the TYPEs of sounds..."Daddy! He is beating her up again!!!"
I never found out how it was resolved.
Oops!
LOL...Guess it might be annoying after a while
The couple should try the "Italian position"...man on top, woman in the kitchen..
Then they would be about the only things the government here doesn't stick its nose into, it seems to me.
Is she sure that the landlord isn't already "taking matters into his own hands", so to speak?
Geeze, she should hear my peacocks partying all night.
Your what?
Peacocks, peacocks! You know, the ones with the big tail feathers.
"Geeze, she should hear my peacocks partying all night"
LOL! --- you should hear the frogs out back here!
Wow, we lost all our frogs several years ago. They are just now coming back, and not in big numbers. I'd trade a peacock or two for a healthy bunch of froggies!
Try an air-raid or demolitions siren. It actually worked for me!
Hey, how'd you lose 'em?
Just wondering...
Don't know. We used to have jillions of little tree frogs but for some reason they all just disappeared about six years ago. My neighbors all say the same thing. We're out in the redwood forest in the mountains. I know that there are frogs elsewhere in the county. It's weird.
