Downstairs will be a problem due to vibration. If sandwiched between floors, carpets are recommended. If in lowest floor, my HT consultant says it won't be a problem at all.
Btw what frequency band touches 130db?My daily listening levels are about 110db, when I go loud it's about 130db. In over a decade I have had no issues. Room is sound proofed and acoustically treated. The key here is to treat the room and sound proof it.
I live in an apartment.
Carpet barely reduces vibration transfer.Downstairs will be a problem due to vibration. If sandwiched between floors, carpets are recommended. If in lowest floor, my HT consultant says it won't be a problem at all.
Do you have heights speakers too?Carpet barely reduces vibration transfer.
And the bed in the floor above my room vibrates when music is played in my room .
Great solution, Dec.
If OP wants to do this and can afford this, this is the best solution.
But, most of us can't/don't listen at those dBs...
And soundproofing + room treatment is prohibitively expensive. Anywhere in India.
OP, the key is to turn up the volume and soundproof your room, so that you can never hear your neighbours pounding on your door.
Btw what frequency band touches 130db?
Only if YOU move in!perhaps you live in an uncouth neighborhood,
I'm sure THEY are!where I live my neighbors are polite and well mannered.

Anyways, my message was addressed to the OP.
130db at listening position at those frequencies ?I think this would depend on content, music in this case, so depending on the song it can be in various ranges. Based on my frequency response which has been adjusted to have a maximum plateau from about 40Hz-300Hz I believe this is the range which touches 130db (or beyond).
130db at listening position at those frequencies ? Yes
What's your age ? Irrelevant
Either you have hearing loss or your SPL meter is malfunctioning. No and No. Do not make assumptions about things you do not know.
The neighbours have never pounded at my door, perhaps you live in an uncouth neighborhood, where I live my neighbors are polite and well mannered. Besides that they've never had a problem with the sound.
On the flip side it is true that when I listen to music sometimes I can't hear people banging on the door due to the level of the sound, this is very rare however as instructions are in place to my family members and the help to not disturb me when I am listening to music so they only come looking for me when they have some work with me. Previously they would come for any reason and they have been summarily reprimanded for it, they don't disturb me anymore.
I don't know about you guys but I live in a pretty uncouth neighborhood. Have called the cops on every one of them as well as prosecuted a few of them in Court. Never over a noise complaint thoughRead my message again, slower this time. It was addressed to the OP.
Only if YOU move in!
I'm sure THEY are!
Oh @Decadent_Spectre130db at listening position at those frequencies ?

Oh @Decadent_Spectre
Sorry..
I forgot to mention my destination.
I'm Dr. Prateek Atasniya.
Age isn't irrelevant. I'm sure you know how human hearing works.
And what kind of info you share is pretty irrelevant.. because you haven't yet shared the system you own.
Now I'm thinking that do you really have an audio system or you are measuring the spl of a subwoofer at your nearby pub.
Come on.. share some concrete information from which we can learn.
There is nothing further to share. I play music between about 110db and 130db in a treated and soundproofed room in an apartment and have no problems with the neighbors. That is concrete fact, your lack of belief in them will not change it.

Obviously the point is to read through. It says there that -What is the point of this link?
Are you still sure you play music at 130 dB?130 dB is extremely loud and equivalent to:
- a jet take-off
- the loudest rock concert ever recorded
- a gunshot at close range
- the sound made by a jackhammer
