Ignorant or acceptable?

Sachamac - I wondered about embarrassment too ... I'm hoping that's the reason.
I'm away for the next 3 Saturday nights so unfortunately (or fortunately!) won't be able to monitor any change.
They're owners, so no chance of contacting a landlord.
Thanks everyone! And yes, SN is sex noise!

I think with some people responding in kind is the only way. If you have been reasonable and they are just ignoring you wait for the sex noises and put some loud silly music on. Maybe the birdie song.

Friend had a noise issue with neighbours, parties until early hours of the morning.
Her husband on a Sunday was due on duty at 7 am so at about 6.30 am as he left the house, he went to the "party" house kept ringing the door bell until someone came downstairs to answer it. He in a cool, sarcastic way, told them that he wasn't impressed with the repeat racket last night, and thought they would appreciate an early morning wake up call.... It worked.

You need to keep a record...video/ audio if you can, if all else has failed. Then contact your council Environmental department.

It’s horrible isn’t it. I wish you all the best.

Well if they are ignorant I think you've made it pretty clear what is acceptable and hopefully they will be more considerate.

I'd be tempted to start texting them if loud sex noise continues on a Sunday morning, things like - HAVE YOU FOUND IT YET?

Please tell what SN stands for.

Sex Noise?

Are they renting?
Could you contact the owner of the property if so?

They sound truly awful, I have lovely neighbours and that’s one of the main reasons I wouldn’t consider moving, you just don’t know who you’re going to get stuck with. Maybe because they’ve been drinking they are oblivious to how loud they are, it will be interesting to see if it’s as bad this Saturday now you’ve messaged them about it. It’s ignorant of them not to at least acknowledge your text, they could be embarrassed or is it more likely they’re the kind of people who just don’t give a damn.

Noise Abatement Society, I think, is a charity set up to resolve noise problems, between neighbours.

I think my restraint originates from living alone ... and they're not the nicest people (if you catch my drift!) Everyone in the road (including me) seems to keep themselves to themselves ... I've lived here for 17 years and it's always been the same. Their non-joined neighbours are relatively new, and seem similar from what I've heard two houses away, so I daren't ask them in case it got back to the noisy neighbours ?

Please tell what SN stands for.

Personally, I think you've shown restraint...as you said, if it's every week I'm afraid I wouldn't be apologising.

Oddly enough I was chatting with someone who lives locally to me and is suffering hugely with antisocial behaviour from neighbours, on reporting the noise again (as instructed by police), she's had a call from the council who told her as the complaints generally about these people now number in excess of 10, no more letters will be sent to them as, they could accuse the council of harassment .

Is this the world we have created??!!

We're semi detached and I'm joined onto them, so I don't know if anyone else is disturbed?
I'd considered contacting environmental health, if they don't reply, but since it's only on a Saturday afternoon/night/Sunday early hours, I don't know if I'd have a valid complaint?

No, it's not too much to expect a reply but you are talking about people who don't seem to have much consideration for others

May I ask if you are the only who is impacted by their actions? How about other neighbours?
Strength in numbers could help

If they are breaking any rules, could you tell them that the noise ordinances/ other rule are being broken and impacting their community?
