I have neighbors below me in an apartment which I don't want to annoy. Would this subwoofer be good in this environment?

That's impossible to say. Too many variables. It all depends on how loud you play your system and how high you adjust the bass control on the speaker. One thing in the Yamaha's favor is that it's a front-firing subwoofer, not a downward-firing subwoofer (the speaker faces the floor) like many other units. Another is that it's not a high-powered unit and won't deliver room-shaking levels of sound.

There is a bass adjust knob, I would assume you could adjust it accordingly to not disturb them

Bass travels much farther than high frequencies. I can feel this vibrate the walls at the opposite corner of my house @ 50% vol.--so YES

If this question is for real, I would suggest you put it on the floor. It is called a subwoofer.

Yes. I live in a second floor apartment and it doesn't disturb anyone downstairs. It's very quiet.

Absolutely. This unit provides nice clean bass. Would be great for smaller room.

Actually, from what I've gotten out of mine so far it almost sounds better in medium sized rooms. The speaker size and shape directs the sound in a fairly linear way, and doesn't spread very well at short distances, but if you're more than about 5 feet away from them, you should be fine.

There are four volume settings and the lowest volume would be fine for an apartment. If you think that is too loud, I put a piece of scotch tape over the speaker hole and the volume got even quieter.

absolutely; this is a top rated subwoofer for the money.all I can say is I love mine.

not loud, I don't think it would be heard by a neighbor, unless one was below your unit, there might be some detected through the floor to their ceiling.

No I have one in about the same size room and it sounds great. You can always adjust the control on the back of the sub.

I'm probably not the best person to answer the question. This is my first subwoofer. I'm happy with it, and this was after trying out three other ones beforehand. It's very compact and seems to do the job. Sounds like our rooms are about the same size.

I would say no; and if anything it won't be worse then a low hum. I used it in a small workshop with 1/4" walls and could barely hear it.

Its not too noisy at all. I was living on the second floor in my building. No complaints from the neighbors.

Yes it sounds really good. The sub needs a big sealed box to sound its potential though. I have this same set up in a ported truck box doesn't sound bad just know it could sound better.

In my *OPINION* there is no such thing as "too much bass." However, for those that have to worry about neighbors there is a knob in the back of the sub woofer that will allow you to adjust the overall bass of the system.

I'd say that wouldn't be a problem. I put mine by the couch on the other side of the room. I like it better there because it gives you some surround sound because there is quite a bit of midrange that comes through the sub because the speakers in the soundbar are so small which isn't a bad thing. Because it all evens out and sounds good

My man cave is around that same size and I also have 7 in wall speakers. I have this sub underneath my stereo rack in the far corner. The volume on the sub is about halfway up and the sound is fantastic.

I have mine in the basement. I can hear it from the top of the basement stairs but do not hear it in the living room above the basement. There shouldn't be any problem with adjacent apartments.
