Us? Ridicule a fellow bassist? 😮 On here? 😮 Of course we wouldn't......😁🤣🤣 First thing that comes to mind is how loud are you practicing and if this is causing the headaches can you reduce the volume or move onto headphones? (Also how loud are the neighbours if they are affecting your heart rate? 😮😮)

As far as sound proofing, it can be done but will cost more than a good pair of headphones, may not give you the results your hoping for and will undoubtedly reduce the internal size of your "little music room". There are a few people on here (and threads) who have gone down the route of soundproofing rooms / sheds / garages and I'm sure they will be able to offer some good advice.

I'm lucky I live in a field with our nearest neigbours being 1/2 a mile away....however I can somtimes still hear their gardening music!

Lol...I'm not convinced it's the volume that's the problem. As I said it's the ultra low frequency of the bass from 2 doors down that affects me really badly (it's the kind of 'music' they listen to)...really upsets my heart rate to the point I've literally had to run out the house jump in the car n go fer a drive till it stops. And since I'm affected I'm assuming maybe my mrs is also affected by bass frequencies I'm producing...although not so ultra low.

Just kinda hoping theres a cheapish solution regarding absorbing the specific frequencies somewhere out there 😉🤣👍

The situation is this. For a coupla weeks I had been deciding what inteface mic etc I needed to start experimenting with a little home recording. During this time I barely picked up any instrument. Also during this time my mrs experienced hardly any headaches. Since the gear I ordered arrived and I've been playing a lot her headaches are back. Now I know I'm no doubt opening myself up to ridicule regarding the quality of my play (on ya go u lot lol). Has anyone else experienced similar as I know when my neighbours play certain ultra low frequency garbage that they listen to it affects my heart rate and I pretty much have to leave the house.

Assuming this is a thing I'm gonna have to soundproof my little music room therefore can anybody advise me on best materials to use specifically regarding blocking bass frequencies.

Thanks for reading ..looking forward to hearing replies. Cheers guys.

Sound engineer then! 👍

Ha ha...funny enough I'm working on that since she's more technically minded than this ole technophobe 🤣

You could suggest she picks up one of your basses and learns to play too...

I've tried that...suggested bass...guitar..drums..just to give me someone to play with...all rejected lol 😄

No, but some of us have such massive bass collections that it will make her feel much better about your basses (presuming your collection is modest)

 

Ha ha...she's less bothered by the size...more bothered by time spent...lol 🤭
