YORK, Pennsylvania -- Good fences make good neighbors, or so the saying goes. Thicker walls go a long way, too.

A Pennsylvania family of seven finally lost patience with a neighbor's noisy ways after two years, which included having sex so loud that the family's children wore headphones to block it out, and a dresser and bed shook.

The family called police on Amanda Warfel, 25, of Red Lion, Pa., who last week pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and harassment charges, the Associated Press reports. She is being held in the York County jail until June 20.

Tanya Saylor, her terminally ill husband, and five children ranging in age from 9 to 17, lived in a row house next to Warfel, the York Daily Record reports. The 17-year-old daughter is battling cancer.

Saylor said she first asked Warfel to quiet down about two years ago but matters became worse. She tells the Daily Record that Warfel would yell her daughters' names and threaten them, then loudly describe sexual acts.

Warfel also played loud music and made racist comments, reports say.

"She harassed my kids for two years," Saylor said. "We let it go for two years.... I shouldn't have let it go that long. I should have started calling the police a year ago."
