I've had the same problem in most of my apartments. Loud bass driving me crazy. A rental advisor I spoke to once said Everytime you move you're inheriting someone else's headache. How true that is!

I have no advice, I have no idea how to make the situation better. At this point I'm living in a nursing home and there's no more pounding music or people upstairs or downstairs. No dogs, etc. But I'd much rather have my freedom back again..

I hope the noisemakers will move out.
