An unusual problem


I recently moved into an industrial loft.  It tuns out the wall of windows extends into the next apartment with the wall butting up against the pane, sealed, but shared none the less.  An 11:15 knock at the door revealed that my subwoofer causes a vibration in my neighbor’s place.  Besides turning it down, can anyone suggest a solution?

I actually just got rid of an awesome REL simply because it provided a 15% gain in sound quality for me and a 75% gain in irritation for my room mate.
 

So there you have it- REL: the sub so good even when its bad its because its so good.

There's next to zero chance this will work but just in case the wall is super thick concrete or whatever and the glass really is where all the sound is coming through.... 

Bass is making the window pane vibrate like the skin of a drum. You can stop that with a bead of silicone all along the wall/glass corner. But that will mostly stop the glass rattling against the wall. Which will be an improvement for sure. 

But then the window pane will still be vibrating, only now the wall will be like a pivot point. The easiest cheapest most unobtrusive thing you can do is glue a 2x2 into that corner all the way floor to ceiling. 

Try the silicone first, that will at least stop the rattle and give you a clue if anything else is even possible.
Perhaps a Townshend isolation platform for your subs would be a way to go.
I own a lot of their products and can attest to their efficacy in isolating vibrations. They also work great on isolating components- resulting in a much cleaner sound.

I hate to be the one to point this out but wouldn’t $50 of simple springs be a little bit more cost effective? Hel-loo!
