is the sub from my floor standing speakers
Unplug them? Do they have a volume level for the subwoofer? You could also use digital EQ to roll off the sub-bass.
is the sub from my floor standing speakers
I just bought a new pair of speakers and today was the second time I got the downstairs neighbor on my door complaining from the bass shaking his apartment.
I swear it wasn’t too loud ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) but I mean,
What can I do to try to isolate the bass from the floor? Is there any DIY solution? Bass traps?
Do isolators pads as these ones work??
Please advice
The major effect you will notice is a loss of bass when you are equidistant from both speakers. It may sound crazy to you, but you should reverse the polarity on one speaker and listen for a while and see if you can tolerate it. My guess is that it won't be as bad as you might anticipate. This will greatly reduce the extent to which the room pressurizes, which will greatly reduce the transmission of sound energy into the building structure. If you try it and think you can tolerate it, then a simple two-bladed double-throw knife switch will make it very convenient to swap between normal polarity and reverse polarity, for one speaker. Please at least give it a try before you assume that you wouldn't like it or that it wouldn't be effective.

I'm in an apartment. The speakers and sub are in a room where the wall is usually not shared with the neighbors. The apartment is on the first floor. I hardly ever use the speakers. When I do, the level is usually low.I'd never dream of having speakers and subwoofers in a apartment building or even a attached house . I just couldn't relax knowing I'm liking causing someone grief .
Maybe invite the neighbours round for music sessions and beer ... or murder them but others will soon turn up to take there place so...
Headphones , ... , move house lol
My first system involved Acoustic Research model 3 speakers. 48 years ago. My dad would be watching football in the living room [loud], I'd be listening to Mahler in the bedroom [loud]. This did not work out all that well.After wrestling with this when my son lived with me, I ended up only having the subwoofers on when he either wasn't home, or was listening with me.
I'd suggest maybe talking with them about specific hours that you could be expected to have it a bit louder/sub on, and the rest of the time they know it won't be intruding. Knowing you have a few hours that are usable can help fulfill that need, but bass really travels through almost anything.
