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?
Yeah absolutely this. There is a way that everyone wins here. I will say, I lean more to the side of “it’s my place and I will play my music how I want” but there is a tactful way to approach it. Obviously avoiding quiet hours, and decoupling your speakers as much as possible is a logical step. But it’s impractical for them to expect silence too.
