I can hear the bass from my home theater standing in my front yard. That means it’s going through drywall, insulation, house wrap and BRICK. Good luck with your plan to stop bass with an extra coat of drywall.

You have an apartment. Put the stereo in night mode or disconnect the sub.

After reading this, I decided to just turn it down. The apartment probably will say “tough luck…” and I’m pretty much stuck just turning it down.

The guy said “we’re looking for a house.” Hopefully he moves out and the apartment next door is empty for a bit. Then I can enjoy turning it up as the neighbors above me say they are not bothered by it.

Thanks for the input guys, appreciate it.

I think that would make your apartment the ported subwoofer NOT his

> Green glue and drywall is your best option for trebble sound proofing, the only thing that can stop bass is decoupling, which green glue kind of does, but you really need a floating wall

Green glue and is specifically designed to work at low frequency. It can sometimes do better than floating via resilient channel -  
20-25db reduction is much better than nothing.
