My Neighbor Makes a Lot of ***Noise*** Is She or Isn't She?!!

One day while this is going on call on the phone and ask if everything is alright that you heard some screaming and do you need to call the police for help??? It may catch her attention. It could also be a funny story for her....

Don't let your kids play near there if it bothers you. Whatever she is doing in her own home is her own business

Please disregard those that are saying it is none of your business. If you can hear it, then it has become your business. I wonder if those same women would just let loud, blaring music continue from a neighbor's home since it is in their own home.

I agree with some posts - tell her you heard some screaming and wanted to make sure everything is okay. That will open up the conversation and you can move from there...

I'd call when it happens and say O. of the kids heard yelling and you're just checking in on her. No matter which situation it is (prayer or sex) she'll get the hint.

I have to admit this is one of the most interesting requests, hehe! Depending on how comfortable you are with your neighbor, next time you hear and are close enough shout, AMEN!!!! She will either share a Blessing or realize her afternoon is not so private.
As far as your daughter, I would only say something if she asks. Then say well it sounds like she is praising God. Must be participating in a worship service on TV. And let it go.

She is probably praying. Depending on her faith background, it is not uncommon for people to walk around and pray/praise God and saying "Oh Lord, oh yes.." etc, is super common and some people actually yell when they pray. I really doubt it is sexual. I would just tell my daughter she is talking to God, regardless. I don't think I would say anything to her about it though.

I definitely agree with what some posts say about going over there to see if she is "OK" when this occurs. That way you are subtly letting her know that she is loud without letting her know that you know what is going on. No matter what it is, it can be really embarassing.

To the post about "Every Christian Woman Masturbates", please don't include every "Christian Woman". I feel as a Christian it is a form or adultery to have sexual relations without my husband of any sort, even with myself. I don't think Christianity promotes it either.

I have known alot of charismatic Christians. They do it alot. She can be agreeing with someone and exclaim it, praying, worshipping. They are actually very fun people to be around. If I were you, I would introduce myself to them with my 13 year old with me. Chances are, she will find something to praise the Lord about and that in itself will explain it to your 13 year old, and she will know why she does it, and will never have any x rated thoughts about that household again.

If she's in her own home, I say mind your own business especially if you all don't speak and haven't been introduced to one another. It's funny how we can sometimes hear things only when listening for them.

Just because people are religeous does not mean they are incapable of having great sex! If it doesn't bother the kids it shouldn't bother you. If you really have a problem with it don't chicken out and do it anonymously, because she will know it's you, then you'll be embarrassed just tell her "my kids were playing outside the other day and heard you yell out YES LORD and they asked me why it was so loud and I told them you were just praising God joyfully". If she was praying she'll agree with you if she wasn't she'll now know to keep it down. Either way it's not profanity and for that you should be grateful (LOL)

when you hear her screaming run over and knock on the door. when she answers tell her you heard her screaming and wanted to make sure she was ok.

Check the TV stations when you hear her to see if she is watching a Christian show at that time.

I will have to err on the side that it is none of your business, what she is doing in her own home. I am sure she doesn't come running over or writing you anonymous letters complain that your kids are making too much noise in the driveway while she is "praising the lord".
I doubt that this would even qualify for a noise complaint... and just think how embarrassing it would be for YOU, if she is indeed praying, which I hear gives a lot of joy to a lot of people.

This is too funny. If your 13 year old asks *and I would say only if she asks* you can honestly tell her you don't know whats going on over there...this reminds me of that old Herbal Essences commercial. Anyway, don't all 13 year old's have ipod's & cell phones 24/7 now? LOL :-) Good luck.

I have to agree that it IS your business. What goes on in other people's homes should stay IN their homes, not filter out into the yard for your children to hear and question. No matter what it is. If it was screaming and fighting all those posters would undoubtably be telling you to call the cops. I think the best idea is the one where you go knock and make sure she is ok.

Wellll...everyone is entitled to their own in private but if the neighbors are really being that disturbing, if it were me, I'd go next door during one of the episodes & knock on the door & when they answer, just say you heard hollering & wanted to make sure they were okay, that she sounded like she was in pain (to help alleviate some embarrassment she may feel). Or you can go after the episode subsides & just explain that she can be heard as far as your home so I'm sure she'd appreciate being notified that if you can hear her b/c you're sure others can too. Just let her know that she can be heard & wanted to let them know to perhaps alleviate possible further embarrassment & the fact that your children as well as other kids in the neighborhood, I'm sure, can hear her as well & you felt you should try to talk to her about it. Hope this helps & good luck!!

Hi, I would just make it a point to run into her for some casual conversation and mentioned that you have heard her several times praising the Lord! She may have actually been doing just that but if not now she knows to be a little more discreet. Just ask her how the good Lord has been treating her and when she proceeds to tell you chime in and say, "yes, I can tell...I hear you praising him very often!"

Just ask her how the good Lord has been treating her and when she proceeds to tell you chime in and say, "yes, I can tell...I hear you praising him very often!". That way if she is in prayer you don't disrupt her by knocking on her door and second of all, you will have peace of mind knowing and sharing with your children (if they ask) that she is praying. In previous prayer circles I have heard women saying yes in agreement with the prayer. And I personally rather pray intensely in my own home when no one is home.
