I’ve lived in my apartment for 2 years and have had no issues with any complaints until a new downstairs neighbor moved in a month ago who claims they can here bass coming from my apartment. I’m not throwing any crazy parties or have it at a high volume. I have a speaker on a table that’s sitting on hardwood that I use to listen to music on throughout the day.
I was wondering if anyone knew how I could reduce the sound from it traveling through the floor? Would a rug underneath the table be helpful? What would you recommend?
Might have a nasty room-mode or room-mode(s) in play. Might want to measure your frequency-response and even out the modes. My room, for example, is on the second floor and the house is from the 50s so it’s made of paper.
Used to get comments from downstairs neighbours at the time, ended up finding a +15db room-mode at 45hz.
