But if you're a condominium owner, you should consider this kind of approach. When we moved from the suburbs to a condo in the city, I despaired of ever again being able to listen to music loudly, at any hour. But I can and I do. My listening room has one surface that's contiguous with a neighbor—the floor. (We have a 2-level unit, so all the walls and ceiling are adjacent to our own space.) I took up the carpet and replaced the carpet pad that sits on the concrete slab with something like this https://www.acoustimac.com/soundproofing/acoustimac-soundproofing-performance-carpet-underlay-roll-4-5-x-20-3-9 I put the material down over the entire 15' x 15' expanse of the room, as well as in the two large walk-in closets that are part of the space and a small hallway that leads to a bathroom. It cost me roughly $1000. I've had several downstairs neighbors during the 11 years we've lived here and play all kinds of orchestral Power Music and rock/pop with substantial bass at all kinds of hours—my system has always had a subwoofer—and have had no complaints. And, believe me, I solicit comments from my neighbors because in a 17-unit building, remaining on good terms with your co-inhabitants is pretty critical. There are numerous products of this kind. Look around and ask questions of the manufacturers. Currawong and rando 2 Link to comment
