Ever since moving out I have lived in condos with shared walls and floors (wood frame and concrete). I've never had any problems with noise (even after the usual 10pm cutoff), but I have to agree with others that bass just gets into your head and can drive you crazy.
Now perhaps if the bass was steady in rhythm and coming from one song that lasted hours on end it wouldn't be too bad, as you would get used to it. But when the beat changes from song to song it rudely reintroduces the bass into your brain and body.
I have tuned out ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, CP Rail trains, HAWC 1, buses, and many other "urban island" noises. But bass is the one thing that I will notice over the sound of my own tv or wake me up.
