We live in a detached house (I wonder), in Kanata, Ontario and the houses are about 10 feet apart. When our neighbor plays music in a 2nd floor room we hear the base in our 2nd floor bedroom on the same side of the house. The music is not loud enough to be herd outside or on the 1st floor of our house. Is it possible that the sound is traveling down their walls into the ground and back up our walls into our room? What ever the situation, can anything be done to remedy the situation?
Answer:
A tactful (at first) conversation with the chap next door might do as much as you'll ever do about it. Sound is a wierd thing and people study for years to find means of controlling it. Sometimes I think all that study makes them deaf and they end up not hearing anything at all. I have not do much in the way of sound transmission research. Sorry.
