I'm a college student but I'm still home 4 days of the week. My parents have apparently adjusted well to being empty nesters, but they have too much fun when I'm home. I sleep in the basement and my Parents sleep upstairs. Our floors aren't as thick as my parents like to think and I've tried talking to my mom about it and I told her I could hear 3everything they do upstairs. I didn't specify that I hear them having sex, but my mom shut me down before I could even get to that point. She told me we all have to live together and there's nothing she can do about it.
I've tried blocking it out, but it doesn't work when I'm trying to clear my mind and fall asleep. When I'm home I work everyday and the noise and lack of sleep are really starting to take their toll on me. I would really like my parents to be more quiet but do I have that right? Any suggestions on what I should do? Any god ways to block out noise? Anything?

I would suggest earplugs. I know that sounds like a nuisance. The earplugs will block the sound and you will not have to listen to the noises your parents are making.
It is unreasonable that you would ask people who are living in a home that they are paying for to curb their sexual behaviors because you are in the home.
You are no longer a child and they are "happily" married.
So many people have sexless and unhappy marriages.
The earplugs are probably the least intrusive solution for all concerned.

Make a recording. Then at dinner, make a statement that you keep hearing weird noises at night and you're scared that something might be in the basement. Then pull out the recorder and play it so that they can hear it. When finished, ask them what they think could be making all of the noise. Either they'll laugh hysterically or they'll act Innocent and move you out of there until they find what's wrong.

Wow, I'm not really sure what to say but perhaps you could try going to sleep with the radio or tv on... or perhaps falling asleep with your diskman/mp3 player on... That way you have something else going into your head instead of the sound of them....ummmm yeah... I feel for you, that can't be a comfortable situation.

Oh your situation is quite common to me.
Just pretend you hear nothing.
And the reason you cannot get to sleep is because you are interested by the noise they make, Am i right??
I think after some time, u will get used to it and may just ignored the voice. For the time being, just tolerate it for awhile.
Good luck!!!

Plan A: Earplugs?
Plan B: Leave this question up on your computer screen and let her "accidentally" stumble upon it as moms tend to do (as long as she knows that yahoo answers is anonymous). I think she'll probably pick up on the fact that you're serious, snap out of her denial, etc.

Sony makes these headphones that are suppose to reduce all sound here is the link to the website they seem a little pricey but may be worth it. I would die twice if I had to hear it....Gross
