German authorities have fined a woman for laughing too loudly.

Officials in Berlin took action against the 47-year-old, named only as 
Barbara M in court papers, when her neighbour complained she was disturbing 
the peace through her giggling.

The 52-year-old neighbour who was also not named but lives with his elderly 
mother said his noisy neighbour frequently invited people round where they 
would laugh the night away.
