Love camping...eliminates cacklers!

[Reader1]

Rant...It seems every time we stay at a hotel or lodge they put women who cackle and want to cackle half the night next door to us. DH sleeps right through it, but I'd like to drag the cackler through the keyhole of the door! The noise at campgrounds is never as bad as people next door in even very nice hotels and lodges. Bring on camping season!!:)

Truth be told I've heard both sets of onomatopoeias from both genders...usually at a really boisterous gathering.

From my own experience, at least one (anonymous) man also occasionally "screams like a girl", or at least did the time he ran face first into a hangin' yellowjackets nest while cutting the grass out front...and also the time he encountered a rat in the bathroom of our newly remodeled house. 😉

spent a St. Patrick's day in a hotel in Dublin. room was over a ball room with what looked like a tin roof. after a while the windows started vibrating and the tin roof amplified the riot going on.
called the desk and they said they were going to shut er down at some ungodly hour.
spent a night in San Francisco in a room overlooking an alley. the USC or whoever the trojans are band was staying there and they decided to practice in the alley in the middle of the night.
I would have enjoyed having it being somebody cackling.

We had a neighbor once, who after a divorce, brought home various floozies from the bar. Cackle? Omg, like a henhouse. And, in the morning, before work, they would spin out as they left the driveway, he being late for work (power company lineman-I don't know how he survived the next day's hangover). He finally married a nice gal, non-drinker and mended his ways.

Never really had a noise problem while camping. One of our hotel stays is another story.

A group of young people came in at midnight and spent the next 3 hours talking loudly and playing music. Management was not helpful though they had received multiple complaints. Worst night of any hotel stay. But it was just that one time.

Have stayed in hotels for 60+ years and that was the only time we've had that happen. Not too shabby of a record.

noise in the cg or at a hotel...if the mgmt. is not helpful then it may be time to bring in law enforcement. disturbing the peace is a misdemeanor.

Just women cackle.

Question per linguistics:

Do men "cackle", or only women? And if the latter, what would be the male equivalent of this phenomenon?

[HappyKayakers]

You've been very lucky. I've been in campgrounds where the drunken lady cackling started around 10 PM and lasted for hours.

People talking / laughing in nearby rooms is ok for me. What causes unrest and teeth gritting for me is kids / adults doing gymnastics in the rooms above mine. As they jump and run around, they must walk entirely on the balls of their feet.

My poor rig is socked in behind a mountain of snow and ice, only four more months before it melts.

You're right. Hotel rooms are supposedly designed to be pretty quiet. Cackling sticks out like a sore thumb, while campfire chatter tends to blend in with typical night sounds.

I certainly agree with you. Noise from above and from the rooms on both sides. I like to sleep on my own bed, use my own bathroom, and hear less from my neighbors.
