How to keep the sound from neighbours?

[JktHifi]

You need to play nice songs for your neighbors. Find out what their songs.
Or your system doesn’t provide enough for them because everybody love musics. It might be too loud for the bass or something else.
”Let the music play. Play it loud and make it clear.”

Ask if you can play your music at the volume they complained about while you are in their apartment.

yes, that would be the fist thing to do. sometimes (not often) it's not the bass but midrange....in which case absorbtion would acutally help

So only one person suggested to remove the loudspeakers from the wall attached sideboard, which will remove roughly 90% of the problem, and the rest came up with "solutions" that won't make any difference if the loudspeakers stay on the sideboard.

Yes, remove the loudspeakers from the sideboard. Place them on stands, preferably about 2.5 feet or 75 cm from the wall (back and side), which will definitely improve your sound. Listen to your music like this for a few weeks and ask your neighbor if the noise has become less of an issue. Then start experimenting with some minor acoustic treatments. It really doesn't have to cost a fortune to make a difference.

If you need to remove some of the bass frequencies which will go through the walls you can use a EQ to attenuate the bass frequencies. It works well and still sounds pretty good. If you use the PC as a source install the free Equalizer APO and then install the free and snazzy better GUI for that called Peace Equalizer. Open Peace Equalizer and adjust the bass till it is not so boomy and thumpy. If you use a Mac PC then use eqMac or SoundSource.
