How can I sleep through nightly bass from a neighbor while I game on Steam?

[EthanFP]

My new neighbor plays loud music every night || I just moved into a new apartment and the neighbor below me plays music with heavy bass every single night, usually starting around 10pm. It's not crazy loud but the bass vibrates through my floor. I left a polite note but nothing changed. I don't want to start a war but I need to sleep. I'm not sure what to do next, maybe talk to the building manager?

That stinks. Try a calm chat again, with specifics like quiet hours after 10pm and asking them to lower bass or use headphones. Keep a simple log of dates and times.

If that doesn't help, file a formal complaint with your building manager or landlord. Bring your log, note the impact on sleep, and reference the building rules.

In the meantime block sound with a white noise machine or earplugs, move your bed away from the wall, and consider a mediation talk if your complex offers it.
