A new law in St. Petersburg may fine people for having “loud sex”, “the sound of loud cats”, and “snoring at night.” The Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg has decided to amend the law of “Administrative Offences in St. Petersburg”, which refers to the violation of silence at night. Even if you are caught singing, yelling, and playing musical instruments at night, you can receive a fine.

The reason for this law was that deputy Alexey Timofeev had received numerous letters of people complaining of people making love so loud. According to Timofeev, this law should stop the unwanted noise around the city. The list of what exactly will be considered disturbing and loud noises is still being worked on by a list of MPs.
