At least an 11 year old is old enough to be informed about what is going on. Too many kids have heard that kind of noise from their parents' bedroom, and it has scared them, beliving that daddy is mistreating mommy, while (hopefully) he is doing exactly the opposite.
Actually, I am less scared by a female who expresses pleasure than of a female that just lies still, letting the man do his things, and "try to think of their country and of the queen", as women were advised a hundred years ago as a way to suppress their bodily reactions when they felt something coming. Female pleasure was not accepted; it was all a man's thing (at least in some social environments). I am glad that is over. I'll gladly take a noisy female over a cold one who is "just doing her duty as a woman".
I think eleven year olds are old enough to learn about that. But then... I am not living in the USA ...

Do it even louder.
Or
Hang a calendar on their door with a cross on each day they did it in the last month, with a big "Congrats on the sex" sign.

You are assuming that they are having sex, they may be just watching pron without turning the volume way down.
There was a court case in Oz or possibly the UK (can't remember and not interested enough to search) last year where a neighbor was prosecuted for disturbing the peace with her screaming.

Reminds me of the time when I was a graduate student.
Three of us rented the lower level of a house and the upper level was rented by someone else. Whenever he brought his girlfriend over for an evening of, ahh, entertainment, the heating register acted as a resonator and amplified the sound!

Buy them a ball gag. It'll muffle the sound a bit without requiring her to tone it down.

I have a fridge magnet that reads "DANGER! I haven't had my coffee yet..."
So, what's wrong with it?
It's a delicate pastel green.
It should be dayglo orange, at the very least.

Old news. As the article says, this method of creating a space warp has been known for about 25 years. The problem is that naive calculations of the amount of energy required to warp space in the desired manner give a value larger than the Sun's total output. 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Öutput? if it were only that. The energy equivalent of a complete star mass. If we are very lucky 'only' that of the mass of a large planet, wich should still be much more than the sun's output.

So the tl;dr is:
0. nothing in relativity suggests that spacetime cannot contract or stretch faster than light
1. nothing in physics says energy density can’t be negative
So all you have to do is both of those things, and Hey, Presto! FTL travel!
I feel I should point out the slightly bleeding obvious flaw in the reasoning -- the fact that no-one says that something can't happen doesn't mean that it can!
Often, if no-one says something can happen, it's because it can't. In this instance, for example, we use abstract determiners that were invented by people to quantify things (it's quite common to call them "numbers").
When working with numbers, it's really easy to make stupid suppositions, because the real world doesn't force numbers to behave like the non-abstract things that the numbers represent.
E.g. for point 1, solve this:
If you have five pounds of potatoes, and someone steals eight pounds of potatoes from you, how many pounds of potatoes are you left with?
Easy, no?
You've got -3 pounds of potatoes.
Now perform the experiment with real potatoes, rather than abstract quantifiers (those "number" things, again), and send me a photo of what -3 pounds of potatoes looks like.
The only difference between doing this with potatoes and doing it with "energy density" is that if you do it with "energy density", and act all clever and intellectual, some people won't realise that you're a bleeding idiot.

Just because you can't photograph it, does't mean that -3 pounds of potatoes isn't "real" - that's the idea that banking is based on; heck my bank account relied on it for years after I got out of Uni and trust me, I was assured often enough that that was for real!

So if I invite you round for dinner, and I tell you that you'll be having -1 steak, it means that you'll have to bring a steak and give it to me, and then you don't eat?
OK, I can get behind that.
I hereby invite every member of CP to my place, to have -2 beers!

Regrettably, I'm busy that day so I will have to decline your invitation. If you are in the area feel free to drop in for -2 bottles of wine.
