Yeah, if they don’t care or realise that they’re shagging to loud, they aren’t going to realise if they’re told subtlety.
Comment on How to respectfully and subtly tell dad and his new gf they're too loud when having sex?

Stay respectfully, forget subtly. Say it like it is.

Agreed. I wouldn’t interrupt their fun, but I’d mention it to my dad some time when the girlfriend wasn’t around. I’d send an email or text if I felt too embarrassed/shy to say anything face-to-face. “Hey, Dad. Just FYI the walls are really thin in this apartment and I can hear what you two get up to.”
I’d also look into earplugs. Earplugs + bone conductive headphones could be a good work around. I’m a fan of Shokz, but other brands exist.

In fact asking dad to buy new headphones could be a way to transition into that conversation.
“Hey, dad, will you buy me these?”
“Um…why?”
“11 and 6 dad. I need them for 11 and 6. Y’all ain’t subtle.”

This is the best answer in the thread. Add in eye contact and eyebrow gesture.
