I can't remember if I asked this before, but here it is anyway:
Is there some kind of insulation or acoustic treatment that will dampen the bass enough to keep neighbors at bay?
I hate it myself when someone has their music playing, and I can hear bass radiating through my walls.
I thought mine was fairly well contained until I walked out into the yard with my house sealed behind me and I could hear bass distinctly a hundred feet away.
I don't play music that loud. I keep the average room level sound somewhere around 90 db or less for the most part. There are peaks that might hit a hundred, but only momentarily. I actually like to be able to speak to someone in the room when it's necessary.
I don't keep the bass at ridiculous levels like some of the hip hop and rap stuff you here rolling down the street.
The worst offender seems to be a wall of glass that the front speakers and sub face away from.
We are buying a new house within the next six months, and I'm wondering what I might put in the walls to diminish bass leakage, which seems to permeate everything.
As always, thanks.
