Neighbors - and the postman - have complained about the noise Caroline Cartwright and husband Steve make during sex.
A British woman is in trouble for enjoying sex a little too much.Caroline Cartwright, 48, has pleaded guilty to anti-social behavior for ignoring a noise abatement notice from the courts. In fact, she admits to violating a civil order three different times.
The order had banned Caroline and husband Steve from "shouting, screaming or vocalization at such a level as to be a statutory nuisance," according to the BBC.
The Cartwrights live in Washington, south of Newscastle in northeast England. Neighbors - and even the postman - have complained about the noise, according to the BBC and other reports.
"The noise sounds like they are both in considerable pain," neighbor Rachel O'Connor testified. "I cannot describe the noise. I have never ever heard anything like it."
Cartwright argued that she was unable to control the noise but had tried to "minimize the situation" by having sex in the morning, the Press Association reports.
According to the BBC, World Health Organization guidelines say 30 decibels is enough to cause sleep disturbance. The BBC reports that the Sunderland City Council told the court they had recorded noise levels of 47 decibels at the Cartwrights - using equipment installed in a neighbor's house.
Caroline Cartwright will be sentenced on January 18.
