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?

    Try house curve to measure your speakers in room response. This uncovered some bass frequency room modes for me that was extending into other rooms and likely to my lower neighbour. After doing this and adjusting with a PEQ I got noticeably tighter bass and also became a better neighbour.
