Not an audiophile but figured this was a good place to ask. I have a small subwoofer that came with my speaker set (Logitech Z407) and would like to use it for my Xbox audio since my monitor doesn’t have built in speakers. I live in a pretty old apartment and sound travels pretty easily between floors so I’m a bit worried my downstairs neighbor might hear the vibrations from the sub. I’ll be mostly playing games from the speakers at a relatively low volume (~30% max). Am i good to go or should i stick with headphones?
Probably
Bass travels through almost anything.
It is best to make contact first. You should speak to your neighbour and ask them to let you know if they can hear it and if it bothers them. This avoids a lot of drama.
Find a game you can play with your neighbor ;) then get sub!
