I have lived next door to someone who started with Kylie at 6am and moved on to irish folk by 7pm and I would have happly stoved my own head in to make it stop. This was almost every day and it just got so bad I would find reasons to be out of the house, I could nurse a pint longer then anyone I know just to not go back.
I am now very sensitive with my neighbours (moved so new neighbours) and hate hearing their rubbish..oh sorry I mean music even when it is low and only on for a short time.
You might need to make music but your neighbour or whoever clearly does not want to listen to it and why should they ? They pay rent, council tax etc and should then be able to enjoy their home.
Noisy neighbours really can damage your health and I know some people will think that is a joke but when you work and get no sleep it really does start to get all to much.

put apiece of wood on your neighbours side of the wall and buy a wood pecker and sit back and enjoy you revenge..... :rotfl:
A better way is when they are a sleep play your music and leave the speakers right next to the wall.... after a few days it will work. me brother done it when a neighbour played music late at night so in the morning my brother put the radio on dead loud when he was a sleep :rotfl:

Why is everyone judging this guy on the type of music he listens to? I think that's a little unfair. Reading through this thread it sounds like half of these posts wouldn't be here if he'd replaced "dubstep" with "The Cure/The Who/Hendrix".

Because as a lot of people have pointed out, a lot of the time, its not the music that can be heard and causes irritation, its the bass and/or the vibration from it, and theres a lot more pronounced bass in this type of music.

Get a load of decent, thick, rubber underlay from your local carpet shop and cover the wall in it, with the rubbery bits facing inwards.

You'll have a bit of a clear up job afterwards with filling in all the holes but your soundproofing will be instantly imporved.

I live in an expensive, private, apartment complex in the city center.

Move somewhere cheaper and rent a garage for the music. The problem is the bass. In your own room all you hear is the whole music, in the other flats all they will here is the constant boom boom and no music. Put your music on and go to your neighbours and see what it's like for them. You will be surprised.

I have a lot of problems with my neighbours, they hammer and bang on the walls sometimes until 2 or 3 in the morning - some nights I can hardly hear myself drilling;)

Playing through speakers at relatively low levels will be of absolutely no use in determining how the frequencies will sound at high levels. You are annoying your neighbours and risking you tenancy for nothing.

Get a decent set of HiFi (not DJ) phones and then field test the final eq in a large space using high powered equipment.

Check your tenancy agreement, I rent out a house on a standard 6 month assured short-hold tenancy and unless I specifically change it to allow the running of a business from the property the tenancy agreement prohibits it, so you may well be breaching your tenancy agreement which could have ramifications on your staying in the property etc

If you have quality monitor speakers you should have to listen to a track once or twice to master it, plus with decent speakers its not about bass also make sure your speakers don't sit on the floor, soften the sound in the room by putting sheets up on the walls etc, you will reduce noise and get the sound more like it will be in a club, spend a couple of hundred on a good pair of headphones.

To make it even more like a club atmosphere, I suggest you untuck your shirt so that you look like a douchebag, stand around with a bottle of lager in your hand, and shout rubbish at anyone who will listen.
