  This should be in the r/popularopinion sub -- almost no one will disagree with you. People who play loud music in their apartments -- especially in the middle of the night -- are self-centred and low-class. Full stop.
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. >
  
  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. >
  
  I used to know a narcissist who, upon receiving complaints from his downstairs neighbors that his music was too loud, would put his subwoofers on the floor face-down, blast Rammstein through them at full-blast, and post videos on his Twitter of him doing it with a smile on his face.
  That being said, not everyone does this. And ones that do would probably turn it down or use headphones if you ask >
  
  Subwoofers are also for movies though, but yeah I agree. If you live in an apartment you should show have some level of respect for your neighbors and not blast that shit at inappropriate hours. >
  
  What's wrong with wanting to listen to music in your apartment? >
  
  What are you talking about?! This is a lousy fucking opinion
  … cuz it’s an awesome fucking fact. Well done bro! >
  
  "I'm 44 years old, blasting music, I'm having so much seggs every night with hot women, stop being a loser. Dude bro man I have all the seggs you clearly having no intercourse hahaha"
  -dude blasting shitty music in apartment >
  
  THIS. My upstairs neighbor BLASTS rap from 12 AM to 5 AM almost every night. I cannot tune it out no matter how hard I try and my husband and baby sleep through it. I've contacted management, security, AND the police and nothing has been done about it. >
  
  We have a subwoofer and blast music. But our building is like all brick and not much gets through. >
  
  It's definitely annoying and I can't empathise with those who do it.
  I personally love loud music, it can be really fun and get me energised. I also live in an apartment building. However, I can just use headphones; I've got some fairly inexpensive wireless ones and the sound quality is probably better than with a lot of regular speakers AND its not at the expense of my neighbours.
  Who made the rule saying that living in an apartment means you HAVE to have noise disruptions? Why can't we all just try and be considerate and help each other out. It seems like the only people that believe that apartments "always have and will be noisy" are the ones that make them like that and benefit from it...
  It is slightly satisfying however, knowing that these people are likely selfish and impulsive in other areas of their lives and that they're probably suffering the consequences of those actions.
  It's just no fun to wake up at 11am on a Saturday to someone else's music blasting through your entire apartment, especially when there is a reasonable alternative; although that's not to say that other people don't have bigger problems - it is just straight up selfish. >
  
  That was my experience when I went to college for a couple semesters.  Just the insane noise of music all the time.  It completely ruined the whole experience of trying to get a higher education. >
  
  Invest in quality headphones. Play it as loud as  desired >
  
  Yeah.... because I cant afford a house in this million dollar house market, I should be forced to listen to music in my car! Lol. No. When I listen to Motorhead, so do my neighbors!. You want to live the quiet life.... get enough money to afford a house, otherwise, welcome to apartment liv9ng and all that comes with it >
  
  I'll play my music wherever I want, thank you >
  
  If you play bass in an apartment, you are a loser with no courtesy for others lol >
  
  I turn my amp down as low as possible get off your high horse and put some fucking headphones on. >
  
  Pls yall get off ur high horse
  Just because u think some music is trash doesn't mean its automatically trash
  Music is subjective ffs >
  
  Noise, on the other hand, is an objective and quantifiable thing. And too much is unneighborly. >
  
  If you want to not hear music or any noises maybe buy an actual house. Till then enjoy my playlist!! Don’t worry there’s a little bit of everything on there…except country. Fuck that shit. >
  
  
  If you want to not hear music or any noises maybe buy an actual house.
  
  So everyone around you needs to buy a house except you right?
  How about just you buy the house and leave everyone out of it.  You're the only one who thinks everyone should hear your music, after all >
  
  Who hurt you OP? >
  
  You’re not entitled to not hearing any outside noise while you choose to live in an apartment building lmao. Live in a house and you won’t have that problem, live in a cheap apartment and you have to deal with the cons. You get what you pay for. >
  
  
  choose to live in an apartment building
  
  Some people have no other option. >
  
  Exactly, so many people on Reddit are literally so entitled they don’t even think about the fact that you actually have to PAY for these things, mommy and daddy don’t buy everything for you forever >
  
  It's not entitled to call out people who choose to live an expensive areas for the lifestyle, when most people in "flyover" country can afford their own homes, with many areas, like central Wisconsin, most of Iowa and much of Minnesota averaging well below $300k for a home - with many between $90k-140k. 
  If you're choosing to live in LA or Denver, are severely underemployed and are barely scraping by enough rent to get by, that's partially on you for choosing to stay there. 
  Especially in Denver, considering how strong the public transportation system is. >
  
  Sounds like you should get a house, scrub >
  
  Yeah right, I really don’t get why people choose to live in apartment when we can all easily buy a house and not have this issue?!? 
  I’m not serious if you can’t tell. >
  
  Ironically, the downvotes indicate I have the true unpopular opinion. I win >
  
  Nah the downvotes just represent how dumb of a comment it was lol >
  
  I live in old school quality made apartment building with sound isolation I play electric guitar my downstairs neighbor only hear that im playing if she’s in the room below me and the volume I’m talking about is 95-100db and the stereo is never even heard (I have a sub) (I only listen to rock oriented music) >
  
  Don't kid yourself.  She probably hates it. >
  
  She is never in that room and second she old not perfect hearing and also I’m not a amateur I do gigs with a audience. It doesn’t sound horrible >
  
  It probably doesn't.  Kudos for the gigs.  My son is in a band too.  But when he moved in with me, I lived in a duplex and one of the conditions was he could only practice with the amp off.  It just isn't right to subject your neighbors to it. >
  
  I lived in this place in college that was on the party street in what was called the student ghetto. All the bars that let 18 year olds in were down the street. My neighbors below would blast music at like 3am. Normally I wouldn’t mind this. I knew the deal when I moved in there. I had ear plugs. But the sheer volume of their music was absurd. They had subwoofers or something and it would shake pictures off my wall. When I tried to talk to them they would be like “dude you live on 13th street.” I was like yeah, but you’re being a dick. I called the cops multiple times. Eventually they came up and told us that the floors were essentially paper. They could hear us watching parks and rec. That was unsettling lol >
  
  Subwoofers aren't always put on blast. And they reproduce bass, even at low volume settings, far better than 3-in-1 speakers. Which is why they are usually included with soundbars, for example. Some of the neighbors whose music, games, or movies you're not hearing probably have them. >
  
  A winner if you are blasting it in the home you own or have a subwoofer in your own house. >
  
  tbh I have a really powerful soundsystem and it's still there where I left it: in my parents house. Because so I can't even have the temptation to blast music in my apartment >
  
  Sounds like an isolated incident that could be resolved with a little bit of communication. >
  
  I don't get the car part at all. Listening to music in a car isn't great and it disturbs others as well.
  People should just listen at a reasonable volume or get headphones not jump in a car. >
  
  You're absolutely right which is why I moved the 15 inch subwoofers to my Nissan Micra so everyone can enjoy the music >
  
  Yeah but you're the one who doesn't have a subwoofer :0 >
  
  I do, I have 2 home subwoofers. Just not enough of a fuckin loser to play them because I’m in an apartment. I have subs in my car because bass in a car will disturb ppl for maybe 10 seconds if I’m at a red light. If Im blasting it in a house, I’m disturbing the same people for however the fuck long I play it for. Ppl are so stupid these days lol
