I've recently moved into a new flat and my neighbours above me keep complaining they can hear the bass from my flat.
The trouble is all I'm watching is regular TV at regular volume levels, nothing loud at all. I've tried fiddling with various options to kill the bass completely but it has not helped. I cannot hear the bass he is talking about.
I have tried so far:
1. I haven't plugged my subwoofer in period (so I have 5.0 not 5.1).
2. I have turned off the subwoofer output on my amp.
3. I have turned off the LFE MIX completely.
4. I have enabled Dynamic Range Compression - Setting it to the "Standard" setting (one down from Maximum) - But I believe this doesn't work for Analogue signals anyway.
5. I have set the Centre, Front and Rear Bass DB rating to 0 - I have not tried setting it to -10 yet (as in minus 10) but I am reluctant to do this as it lowers the volume a far bit.
None seems to be enough. I'm pretty sure he is being picky but regardless it will only get to the point he becomes annoyed and complains to the landlord. I've only been in a month so would rather try and avoid that. He has only complained from 10pm-12am so I am guessing it's when he is trying to get to sleep, not that helps me much.
Oddly I have watched a few Dolby Digital 5.1 DVDs really late at night (1am-3am) and he's not complained about those period. I'm guessing this is because:
A. He is asleep by then.
B. It's so late he doesn't want to come down by then.
C. The Dynamic Range Compression is working - I can definitely hear the overall sound being dampened.
At the moment I am having to watch TV during these hours using my TV's speakers which really, really sucks.
Any help to turn off the bass completely would be appreciated??? Thanks
p.s - I've not gone up yet to hear it for myself not that that would help much anyway.
