Officers in Barrow, Cumbria, later tweeted about the incident, but to spare the couple's blushes they declined to identify them, or their address.
The Twitter post read: "#noisyneighbours an issue this weekend. Complaints of loud music & loud love making! #Showsomerestraint #respectforneighbours #noneedfornoise"
Sergeant Ian McClymont said police often had to clamp down on loud music and raucous parties on weekend mornings.
But the call-out to the terraced house in Roose at 2am on Sunday required a slightly different approach, he said.
"Loud noise can be an issue for us. In addition to the usual people coming in at night and thinking they will carry on the party, this was some loud lovemaking, which I suppose is the diplomatic way of putting it.
"We dealt with it tactfully. In the heat of the moment when people get back home after a night out they can lose sight of the fact they are little bit louder than they should be and a neighbour complained."
The amorous couple in question were gently advised to be good neighbours, as well as good lovers.
Police refused to name the street the couple live in but later posted on Twitter about the call-out: "£noisyneighbours an issue this weekend.
Complaints of loud music & loud love making! #Showsomerestraint #respectforneighbours #noneedfornoise"
Sgt McClymont said: "Our officers attended and tactfully dealt with the situation. "It is the simple case that people need to appreciate whatever they do, whether it is playing music or having a party or a barbecue, they should consider their neighbours."
The red-blooded Roose residents are not the first loud lovers to be reported to the law.
In 2010 Caroline Cartwright, from Washington, Tyne and Wear, was given an anti-social behaviour order after neighbours complained she was making excessive noise during bedroom sessions.
