Can Japanese neighbors sue each other for noisy sex? - Levin - 31-01-2024

Sex in Japan can be noisy business
......
This can be a kinky experience but also infuriating, especially if it’s late at night and you just want some shut-eye.
......
But is this grounds for more serious legal repercussions?
Legal website Bengo4 recently considered this issue. It received an inquiry from someone who complained about being disturbed by the sounds of noisy sex.
......
The interpretation of acts of public indecency in Japan hinges on the “act” part, and this might include “obscene” language. In which case, it is not inconceivable — but very unlikely — that someone could face arrest for noisy sex.
Far more feasible, Bengo4 notes, is that neighbors take the matter to court with a civil action seeking compensation. You would have to prove, then, that the level of noise is beyond what can be reasonably tolerated in terms of volume or type. In such a case, it is possible that the court will award damages.
......
the amount of effort involved in collecting evidence and pursuing such a suit probably makes this unrealistic.

Japanese houses are made of wooden boards, not sound proof…you can hear your neighbours urine in the toilet next door
