Just be glad you don't live in the flat I live in. I can hear/feel the guy walk across the floor along as hear him talk, I can't make out the words but still able to know when he's on the phone. During the day he seems to enjoy music, loudly, which usually makes it seem like it's coming from my speakers.

Conveniently though he shares similar interests in music to me so it doesn't annoy me and he quiets down at night around the same time as me, so it works out fine. Hasn't really annoyed me, but with a different person below I probably would be pissed.

For me, I'd be annoyed regardless of the song or type of music he was playing if I didn't want to hear any music (or noise) at the time. He/She could be playing a favorite song of mine from a favorite band, and I would still be pissed.

Ugh--This raises memories of bad apartment neighbors. To me, any subwoofer is unacceptable.

The only time I hear my neighbors is when they are shooting.
