* In {{Spaced}}, Tim and Daisy pretend to be a couple to get a flat. At one point, Daisy suggests that, with their cover established, they can probably cut back on the fake sex; A flashback shows Daisy jumping up and down on the sofa and Tim playing his PlayStation while they alternate grunts and squeals. Then Daisy's boyfriend calls on the phone; Tim promptly jumps straight back into the charade, leading the boyfriend to complain "Daisy! I can hear Sex Noise!"

* A [[DidTheyOrDidntThey possible]] variation, more aptly [[LongTitle called]] Right Through The Wall And All The Way Over ''[[BeyondTheImpossible To Other Countries]]'', occurs in ''AxisPowersHetalia'' when Greece tells Japan that it's best if he enjoys having sex more. [[EpicTrackingShot Cut to a view of the Asian continent]] and Japan [[TheImmodestOrgasm screaming so loudly]] that China yells at him from his own country to shut up.

* The GoodOmens fanfic "[[http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/8/aprecise.html A Precise and Accurate History of Monday, Eleven Years Later]]" has Crowley moving into Aziraphale's small house in a small town(complete with nosy neighbours).

* In the [[FanficRecs/AxisPowersHetalia hilarious]] ''AxisPowersHetalia'' KinkMeme fill "Are You There God? It's Me, Canada", one of Canada/Matthew's recurring problems is having his bedroom be right next to England/Arthur and France/Francis's and hence hearing his fathers go at it every single night. In fact, when Arthur and Francis ''don't'' have sex because of an argument, Matthew actually ''loses'' sleep because he's become so used to hearing them every night.

* Invoked and PlayedForDrama in ''{{Corsair}}'', after Ayace bluntly announces his relationship with Canale in attempt to dispel Aura's ideas of [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend marrying]] Canale. Ayace goes to Canale's room and makes sure to have lots of loud sex because he knows Aura is going to come by later to talk to Canale and will hear them. Aura is crushed. It comes up more humorously in other places though, especially with poor Harold.

* Marge and Homer often are these people in ''TheSimpsons''. Their loud love making has been the subject of at least two gags in this tropers memory, both times with reactions shots from Bart, Lisa, Maggie, and Ned Flanders (their neighbor in another house, not an apartment). On at least one occasion, the family holds a conversation about this habit while remaining in their bed rooms. Bart even punches RightThroughTheWall to prove the kids' point.
