More than two-thirds of people living in New York hear their neighbours’ moaning, bumping and grinding, reveals a survey.
The news and information site for homeowners BrickUnderground.com found that nearly half of the 400 residents quizzed heard their neighbour having sex.

“We never heard anything else after that.”
