Besides, there is no "wakka-wakka" music, like a real porno movie.
Or, at least, back in the day.

The joys of apartment living. When my wife and I were first married, we lived in an apartment on the second floor of a three-story building. We were frequently awakened late at night by the familiar "Dun-Dun" tones from Law & Order, as our downstairs neighbors were hard of hearing and turned their TV up WAY too loud. They apparently liked that show A LOT, as it was almost every night. Our upstairs neighbors were a rotating cast of characters. - First, we had one 20-something guy whose parents were paying his bills. He really liked playing his music loud, and he REALLY liked Britney Spears. He wound up getting evicted after having one too many drunken parties and pissing off the family across the hall from us who'd just had a baby. - He was replaced by a very nice Asian family who were very quiet and who also spoke no English. This only became a problem when we noticed water dripping through our ceiling and went up and knocked on their door. We couldn't understand each other at all, so we brought them down to our apartment, which they were reluctant to do, and showed them what was happening. They ran back upstairs and threw open their bathroom door to find that their 6-year old had decided to play with his toys in the bathtub and kept the water running until it overflowed. Good times. - They were replaced by a female college student whose parents were also paying her bills, but she was respectful, quiet, rarely there, and didn't flood my apartment from above, so that was a win. We moved out sometime during her lease into our first house.

I lived in an apartment which obviously had very thin ceilings. Whenever my intercom buzzed, the dog in the apartment underneath would howl. I did get on fine with my downstairs neighbour, she said the dog seemed really scared of any intercom buzzer or doorbell.
He was a nice dog, but not particularly brave. There was a communal garden in this block. At one point, we had a rat problem. The landlord and council were dealing with it by laying down traps and the like, but rats were coming through a lot. On one occasion, a rat appeared and the dog howled - and then ran up the fire escape. I had no idea that a dog would be scared of a rat because this was a bigger dog, and yet I had a friend who had a Jack Russell - and that would frequently go after rodents.
