    I already had my first complaints from the neighbors. I left my friend in the apartment and left the block myself. I told him to play such a small bass test and see what the reaction will be outside. I will say that the windows shook nicely. the only worst thing about it all was that a neighbor downstairs suddenly jumped out of the hut and shouted to me: stop doing any experiments for me here, this is not a single-family house that you can listen to yourself so loudly, if you were in my apartment, you would know what I am experiencing. .. ( earthquake??? ;) )

    Do not cross the border. Are you "blowing" 120dB in a block and are you counting on praise, maybe? Why did you not come to his apartment with your neighbor to see "with your own ears" how disruptive the loud music from behind several walls / ceilings can be? Put yourself in the neighbors' place - would you like, for example, to listen to a hammer drill every day, because someone likes to drill themselves in the walls for relaxation (of course, between 6 and 22 o'clock)? More understanding :| .

    but damn people I don't listen to this music after 10 pm, do they have the right to scare me, the police, if I listen loudly before 10 pm ???

    Not only to scare you. The police and city guard may intervene (disturb the peace), there may be problems in the housing cooperative (the tenant is flagrant or persistent against the house order) and ZAIKS (public playback) may also be stubborn. In addition, neighbors can bring a lawsuit based on neighborhood law.

    96dB it has 1 column at 1W (although it is probably stretched a bit). If you give 250W, 96dB will become about 120dB. It is a simple conversion for 1 column (doubling the power gives + 3dB) without taking into account compression, coloration, etc.

    The only sensible solution in this case - just do not go too far and reckon with the fact that people live around. It is not so that from 6 to 22 you can "wat" without restrictions - if you get under someone's skin, you can, however, have a bit of trouble.

    well, I have the ads lx 800 amplifier, which at 4 ohms gives zeus 2x400W but the potentiometer can only be underlined 7/10 because then the LEDs shine red. so how many db does it have then ???

    it counts like this ... 1W-96dB 2W-99dB 4W-102dB And so on ... Each doubling of the power is an increase by 3dB ... You have to take more or less what power you give them ... yet at the very end + 3dB

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around DIY soundproofing techniques for a small recording studio in a basement. The user considers using polystyrene and egg cartons for soundproofing but seeks advice on effective attachment methods without drilling. Various participants share their experiences and suggestions, including using acoustic foam, silicone adhesive, and plaster. Some emphasize that while egg cartons can help with echoes, they are not effective for soundproofing against low frequencies. Recommendations include using heavy mineral wool, blankets, and acoustic sponges for better sound absorption. The importance of room dimensions and ratios for acoustic properties is also highlighted, with suggestions to add bookshelves and carpets to improve sound quality. The conversation touches on the challenges of soundproofing in multi-family buildings and the limitations of DIY solutions.
