I had a similar situation to the OP. I live in a townhouse and beneath me there is a tennant that I refer to as the old hag. One day I was playing music no louder then average, when my landlord calls me to tell me that the hag below me is complaning the music is too loud. I was flabergasted. The music was no louder then average, and it was only coming out of 2 small speakers from my computer. It was also only 8pm at night.

I saw the hag the next day outside and went outside to talk to her. Instead of being able to communicate with her and reach a resolution, she ignored me and ran inside. I've never had a noise complain in my life and this was the first time it has happened. I finally came to the conclusion that since there was an air vent right beneath my computer, the sound my have been travelling down into her area. I blocked it off with pillows and haven't heard from her since.

Having a sub does cause inconvenience as other have mentioned. Unfortunately, having a sub in an apartment is a bad idea unless you have cool neighbors. I bought little speakers for my computer because it just doesn't make sense to have loud ones in a shared unit. My recommendation is to cut out the sub. It sucks balls to have to do that...but the reality of the situation is that subs in a shared living area are just a bad idea. However, if you do want to get back at her, complain to your landlord about her banging on the walls. At least the LL seems to be on your side.
