Folks,
I live on the second floor of a two story apartment built in the fifties. Below me lives an elderly couple who are always home and usually in bed by eight pm. Between my floor and their ceiling is wood, paint, air and carpet - nothing else. The first time I turned my system up to what I would call a medium volume, the gentleman below knocked on my door and asked me to turn it down. Since then, I've had to listen to music at woefully soft levels. My little Montages aren't allowed to sing!
I don't listen to bass-heavy music (The Beta Band, Magnetic Fields or Caribou might be the bassiest I regularly play); can anyone offer a good, non-permanent way to increase the difference between what I hear and what my downstairs neighbors hear (aside from moving out)?
Thanks, and apologies if this topic has been covered in some other thread.
