  Legit had to shell out for an 80W Bluetooth speaker just to fight back because both themselves and my landlord didn't give a shit, so yeah fuck inconsiderate neighbours.
context: Playing music in an apartment doesn’t automatically mean they have it cranked up to the highest level. I have music going most of the time in my apartment and it’s kept at the level that a television would be at: loud enough for me to hear it but nowhere near blaring. >
  
  Which is totally reasonable, I have no issue with music and I love it. It’s when your in an apartment and play bass literally every day, it’s really not hard to have a bit of respect for your neighbours >
  
  I have a feeling you must come from a country where having a house is normal.
  Where I'm from pretty much everyone lives in apartments and living in an apartment doesn't mean you suddenly live differently somehow. People still have parties, still listen to music, practice instruments, babies cry. Just normal life stuff. 
  A lot of apartments do tend to have pretty solid sound insulation so it's not usually a bother.
  And alternative opinion is that if you live in a city, get used to the noise. >
  
  This is a good point. Lived in a city, you have to learn the art of not fixating on noise. It's like a discipline. 
  Op is clearly not fit for it >
  
  I completely understand what you mean when people play obnoxiously loud music with no regard for their neighbours. I have no problem with you playing your music in your apartment, but it would be appreciated if you kept the noise to a reasonable level. That being said, I don’t particularly agree with the point of listening to your music in your car. It can be quite expensive to get decent car speakers, from what I’ve seen. Some people also cannot get a drivers license/car because of medical reasons, financial reasons, etc. Other than that, I agree with your point on being more respectful! >
  
  In the UK there are people that live in blocks of flats and blast their music as loud as they can and have all the windows wide open so everyone has to listen to their shit music.
  Can imagine the people who live there must hate these dickheads >
  
  Yes, we have those in Brazil. I'm especially impressed by the ones that actually point their speakers out the window. Why???? >
  
  Cause you've gotta show everybody how cool your music is lol. >
  
  I kinda agree with the op that you can’t say this a popular opinion, because I believe most of you do this unknowingly with how common it is. >
  
  The subwoofer is not the problem it’s how loud they have it, a properly tuned sound system most notes will reach the same distance at the same loudness 
  Though bass notes to carry it would be something easy to tune out and non disruptive >
  
  This is only unpopular among the trash. People with sense know not to disturb the peace. >
  
  Scumbags be scumbaggin. This is definitely not an unpopular opinion though. >
  
  Wow, what a crappy opinion on so many levels. Like, first off, if everyone hopped in a car every time they wanted to listen to music, do you know how much fuel would be burnt? Fossil fuel emissions, costs, there's just SO many problems with that. Second, I guess nobody without a car can listen to music anymore? Believe it or not, plenty of responsible adults don't own cars. Third, telling people they don't have the ability to do what they want to INSIDE THEIR OWN HOMES is just black hole-level dense. If it's in the early morning or late at night then I'd agree, have a little courtesy for people who have jobs and responsibilities and need to sleep. But to not be able to play music or use a subwoofer at all? That's excessive. >
  
  This is a dumb take, cause you are playing music ON THEIR HOME. Thats the whole fucking point, that you have the music so loud that you activily fuck up another persons house.
  How to easily check if you are an asshole:
  -if everyone in the building would have the music as loud as you, would you still be able to hear yours? If the answer is no, then you are an asshole >
  
  That's an unrealistic standard for most apartments since you can usually hear stereos and TVs that are being played at normal listening volume. Everyone would be forced to always watch TV at a level below what they can reasonably hear, which is just completely self-defeating. Here's a novel idea: if your neighbor is playing something at a level that's bothering you then ask them to turn it down, bonus points if you give them a time frame when you won't be around and it's acceptable for them to play as loud as they want. Just flat-out telling people that they can never listen to loud music in their own home ever is as intrusive as playing loud music when it's bothersome to other people.
