STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) - A Swedish woman, tired of the noise made by her amorous neighbours in the apartment above, took her quest for some peace and quiet to an official environmental health committee.
Jon Persson, who works with the local health committee in Simrishamn, some 615 kilometres south of the capital, Stockholm, said Thursday that the woman said she was "distressed, angry and tense all over" because her neighbours make love loudly almost nightly.
He said it was the first time he can recall such a complaint ever being filed in the Scandinavian country. Typically, most disputes get settled between neighbours and don't require government intervention.
The woman, who was not identified, complained that the lovemaking usually starts around 10 p.m. and lasts well past midnight, sometimes to 1 a.m., Persson said.
According to a copy of her complaint, the woman said the lovers' efforts have left her with tense headaches, cramps and heartburn.
"You are my last hope. Please help me," the woman wrote in the complaint, according to Persson.
