So I live in a 4 bed house with 3 lodgers. I am shortly going to be moving out and rent the house out fully. One particular current tenant is particularly "active" in the bedroom department. Their bedroom is on the 2nd floor and I can hear them from the ground floor. I really don't want to inflict this on future tenants.
The noises are a mixture of squeaks from the springs on the bed, and various thumps.
What can I do to reduce these noises???
I am loathe to remove all furniture, take up the carpet, take up the floor and lay sound proof insulation as it is expensive and time consuming to do this for all the bedrooms.
Would changing the mattress to a memory foam/non-spring one help?
Would extra carpet under the bed help??
Should I sneak in and move the bed away from the wall??
Help?!

Perhaps. I don't mind it myself but realise others might feel uncomfortable. I guess future sharers will hopefully know that sort of thing is part and parcel of a shared house.Debt-free 27th July 2012!0 -

Either have a quiet word, or leave it and let future sharers have a quiet word.
I used to live in a flat and my neighbours downstairs would get jiggy once a week, at exactly 10pm on Sunday night. She was LOUD.0 -
If you can't them, join them! Ask if they have ever considered a 'threesome', and you are available if they are interested."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

If you can't beat them, they're probably not interested in you joining them....0
