Anyway, to update this thread, my neighbour has not banged on my wall at all since this thread (and my stereo continues to get used as it did). My landlord made a passing comment, "that old hag called me four times today and I just let it go to voicemail, she said she could hear you playing a video game. I asked her 'what about the screaming kids and the loud partiers coming from the condos behind us?' I'm about ready to kick her out myself."
Yeah, safe to say that I'm in the clear.

Oh I thought you sounded fairly reasonable. My neighbors were not, and I'm sure I wouldn't feel so strongly if it hadn't been such an annoyance to me. It's an interesting thing though - I don't mind hearing people walking around, or vaccuming, or talking in the halls. That's regular condo living noise and whatever. It's usually for a brief period and then it goes away. Bass though is so goddamn annoying even if its the middle of the day on a Saturday in December and I'm sitting on my couch reading. You can't drown it out, and hearing the bass of a movie or music without any of the additional sound is so distracting. I think part of it is that you subconsciously try to figure out if you can identify the bass line (and if you do, your brain fills in the rest of the song). Ugh. My personal version of hell I guess. I'd rather spend eternity on an airplane with screaming kids versus being stuck with a neighbor an an overly loud subwoofer!
