I'll be travelling in Norway with no set itinerary next month and I'd love to spend at least once a night in good place for us Sex Sound Lovers. I searched briefly on the Web (with keywords "hotel paper thin walls" and the first result I got was the following Tripadvisor question/comment:
How is the sound Isolasjon between rooms? Most Norwegian hotels have paper thin walls and you can hear your neighbors conversations and farting..... is it ok?
That is promising. Any recommendation to maximise my chances (outside Oslo, where I will not go)? Of course I do not intend to record farts

Aaaah, the famous Culture Pub program... I wish it still existed but nowadays commercials lack imagination, humor and sex... probably out of fear to shock someone somewhere.
Well, I am going to Norway primarily to meet hairy and aggressive animals, maybe this means I will meet a cougar.
As for hotels, when one searches long enough, Google returns some results of hotels with reviews of unhappy customers because of paper thin walls or noisy neighbours (usually of very bad value). I'll write the names down and see if they are on my way.
The thing is, I don't know if we've ever had any contributors from Norway who may be able to help you.
There are a few regulars here from Sweden, and I know there's one from Denmark, who travels around a lot.

I am reactivating this thread to report that unfortunately, despite staying in 3 different hotels, I had no luck hearing or recording anything last autumn in Norway Otherwise I would have posted it.
Next week I am leaving for a very long trip to the Faroe Islands. I shall stay in a hotel where "walls are extremely thin. You can hear everything" (according to a Google Review), and this for more than 3 weeks! The odds are good, aren't they ?
There is a gender deficit of about 2,000 women owing to migration. As a result, some Faroese
men have married women from the Philippines and Thailand, whom they met through such channels as
online dating websites, and arranged for them to emigrate to the islands. This group of approximately
three hundred women make up the largest ethnic minority in the Faroes.
So, if The Source of Holy 'Truth', Wikipedia, is to be believed, be prepared to listen to the sounds of
petite South-East Asian chicks being pummelled by randy, burly Norse men. I must say, I can't blame
them for going for cute Filipinas. I've chatted to a couple in the past, and what I really liked about them
was that they spoke English well and were really cheerful...but they were both strippers, so not sure if that
counts.

Actually, I do not expect many Faroe locals staying in the hotel. Why would they stay in a hotel when virtually any town or village in the country is less than a 90 minutes drive away. The recorded couple spoke English and Spanish, I believe. Maybe I will see them tomorrow.
^The locals will use hotels for the same reason the locals used apartments neighbouring mine where
I used to live (abroad) - for a fuck. During low season, when most of the apartments were empty, I
would catch lots of sounds from local couples, and some from dudes banging E. European hookers right
next door to me. They would pay something like a 20 euro fee to use an apartment for a few hours,
then leave.
I would also drive into town to record sounds in a sleazy hotel where there was a hooker on almost every floor,
and where guests could also pay a similar fee for a few hours of use. The hotel was located on a road that had
a few seedy bars/pubs where an unusually high number of E. European women were employed given the small
size of each bar. (Basically, they were not just employed to serve drinks.) But I would never get a room - I would
sneak into the hotel from the rear, where the entrance door from the small car park was always open and you
could get to the staircase without passing through reception.
