Hello!!
I recently moved out from my parent house to my own apartment, and of course I took my hifi system with me ;). Current setup: Dali Oberon 7, Nad C638 (+BLUOS 2I-MODULE) and a BOWERS & WILKINS ASW608 subwoofer.
I’ve had to leave my subwoofer behind because of complaining neighbors. Even without the sub they’re complaining. Is there anything you can du about this? (I can’t really change the positions of the speakers, at least not more then a couple of cm). I have some money over for ‘‘sound proofing’’ the room, or potentially changing to tower speakers to reduce the noise leaking in to my neighbors apartment, what can I do?? I’m sitting about 4 meters from the speakers.
I’m a 22yo student and pretty new to the whole Audiophile scene. Would appreciate any tips and tricks from a cunning veteran.
Headphones late at night, yes. However I also think it’s unfair for your neighbours to expect you to be completely quiet.
Everybody is telling you to move and not your neighbours. I’m my opinion, if you want complete silence then you should be the one looking for a secluded spot.
Granted, you have some good speakers and shouldn’t be causing earthquakes but living in an apartment I expect to hear my neighbours, whether I like it or not.
I have a family above me and once I started thinking like this, the sounds stopped bothering me. If I absolutely hated hearing them, it should be me looking for a quieter house and not on them to stop enjoying life however they live it.
Of course you can’t play music at all times of day with no consideration but still… fuck ‘em XD
