Woman, neighbour in odd spat over sex noises—who’s wrong here?

Members, we understand that for couples, having a little steamy fun is a great way to blow off some steam and de-stress.
You and your significant other may be getting it on like rabbits, but that doesn’t mean your neighbours should have to bear witness to something that’s supposed to be private.
Such was the case for a woman who was busy doing the deed with a bloke she invited over.
Amidst the throes of passion and ecstasy, they overhead what sounded like shutters slamming shut from the neighbouring house.
'Halfway through the deed, we hear the neighbour slam the window shut and realised the window was open,' she said.
'We popped up quickly to shut the window and resumed…'
The woman thought all was well until the next day, when she returned from work to find a handwritten note in large capital letters left outside her door. It was a furious message from her neighbour about the night before, and what she should have done before inviting her partner over.
'Your performance last night is disgusting,' the note read.
'Close a window at least, you don't have to let the world know. You invaded my privacy.’
‘Next time you will be recorded.'
The note left the woman outraged, and she responded with a lengthy reply. In her reply note, she pointed out that a simple polite note, or at least a knock on the door, would have sufficed.
'What I do in the privacy of my own home is none of your concern, nor do you get to call it disgusting,' she wrote.
'I have not invaded your privacy, you have invaded mine.'
The woman explained that she had not realised her window was open.
'The window was an honest mistake and did not realise it was open until you raised a commotion and slammed yours theatrically, to then which we closed the window,' she added.
She also ensured letting the neighbour know the legal repercussions of threatening to record her.
'Recording someone within the privacy of their home is illegal and a criminal offence.'
'Recording an individual having private activities and distributing it without their permission is also illegal and can lead to jail time.'
The woman later updated that the neighbour responded by ‘yelling very loudly’ at the woman from her own window saying: 'Maybe I might get some sleep tonight!'
The woman claimed she had reported the matter to the police along with security footage of the neighbour leaving the note and the letter they sent.
'[The officer] actually laughed when I read out the note,' she shared.
'She told me to keep the note and the video as this is intimidation and a threat and if this woman keeps [shouting or] harassing then I can get an order out on her.
The woman also claimed on her social media post that she rarely has company over at her place.
'I haven't had anyone over in the longest time, and this isn't something that happens every single night,' she said.
'Am I right in taking everything to the police? I'm so flustered.'
Users were quick to comment in her defence, with one saying: 'Threatening to record it? Gross behaviour.'
'This is so dramatic on the neighbour's behalf,' another wrote.
'I can understand being annoyed at hearing your neighbours in the act, but one would usually laugh it off.'
Others also suggested that the right thing to do would be to leave a proper note telling the woman that she and her partner could be heard.
