Hi,
Recently moved into a rented semi-detached house and the neighbours have politely complained about the noise of my home cinema. Probably my own fault as upon introducing myself I mentioned my setup and if it was loud to mention it so I could adjust it appropriately - I probably set myself up..
Currently I am running 3.1 as I haven't got round to buying the extra lengths of cable for the 7.2 so my setup is running at half volume.....
Anyway, story short they have moaned about noise. I have adjusted it, went round and stood in their lounge at approx 6-30pm (hollyoaks was on?!) with their tv muted and you could make out maybe a minor bump every now and then from the first five minutes of resident evil 4 (bassy, fight/shoot scenes) at approx level 35 on my onkyo.. Apparently it is to loud..
Their TV is approximately right behind mine behind the adjoining wall. I have said I would adjust it to appease hence why I am now here..
- I have moved the singular sub so it is no longer pointed directly at the wall but now behind the chair that I usually watch movies from
- I have adjusted the singular sub to just above zero.. And at a reduced ohm level
- I have moved the front floor standing speakers a little bit further away from the wall.
Can I place anything under the sub and speakers to reduce vibrations? Is there anything else I can do? Obviously I am going to get some cable and the full kit will come into play.
I would rather get to the point of trying everything I can within my limited capacity of a tenant in a rented house before telling them that I cant do anything more and sour our relationship.
Cheers, Matt
