How loud is your music when you are practicing at home?

I ust got a noise complaint for having my music too loud, but then again i do live in an apartment complex where the walls are paper thin, but how loud do you guys have the music while you guys are practicing just to yourselves at home?

i have lived in several diff apartments and they all seem to depend on who lives next to you or above or below you. i even lived in a townhouse with a basement and had the stuff down there. everyone knows that once you get going sometimes you get carried away and all of the sudden your crankin the trim. it is different for everyone and if it goes to the landlord we will surely be on the short end because everybody wants a quite place. bummer on the news bro. i would just ask who ever lives by you what they think is acceptable or tell them to eat a dick.

One of the only things i love about living at home is the set up i have here allows me to blast my music. I have a garage beside my house, it's has to levels to it. Upstairs is where i play my tunes. I've posted pictures of it on here a few times.
Love that garage to bits as it literally lets me play at any time i want at pretty much whatever noise level i want (Within reason obviously).

I use a JBL Eon 10" And it does me perfectly.

I'm dreading moving out as i'm quite self conscious. I'd hate it if someone else was blasting music non stop so i'd always have my tunes pretty low if i lived in an apartment block.

my room and house location allows me to spin loud if i chose, but usually i don't go very loud as the room is small and the bass just goes all over.

i'm in the process of getting my buddy to help me with basstraps and all that acoustic stuff for my room.

I play my music pretty loud, although I live in an apartment. I know they're hating me next door, because I play music constantly from mixing to making music to listening to mixes I downloaded from TA forum.. keke Luckily they never complain about it.

It's kinda hard to say how loud I play music, but I try to keep the volume as loud as possible without annoying anyone. I have never gotten any complaints and I'm quite happy with that Then around 9 to 10 pm I start switching to headphones only though.

I once played music very loud for hours but I had a birthday party and we had informed every neighbour already, so there really wasn't any problems with that.

Im right about the same as Hand. My wife and baby dont care when I spin. My neighbor to the East is a hoebag. She honestly might be racist. Nevertheless, when I do spin around 11pm and on, I do keep it down. My other neighbors dont hear or complain about anything.

For reference, I have a Pioneer 707 mixer and KRK 8s. Mixer is half way on main out, KRKs are at +3db gain, -1 tweeter. They are wired via balanced XLR. Monitors are angled up towards me. Behind me is a solid wall. Seems there is easily a 2~3db cabin gain right behind me. Can really hear the mid to lows indepth.

This is my house with almost 1/3 arce (entire lot) So we are not next to each other. Back at the apmt (when I first got the eq 3-4 years ago) neighbors HATED me. That was before the KRKs. I was using a Technics 150w amp to a set of JBL Studio Towers (12" ported, 5", tweet). Had to deal with cops on numerous occasions. Finally moved out of there and never looked back.

Some advice: Make truce with your neighbors now. It will make things easier down the road.

LOL! I don't know the actual DB's, but all the doors in my house are shaking.
It's really load, because thats the way i like it!
I really want to feel the music!
I'm really glad i have a house that stands apart from the neighbours!
Till now they have never complained!

And then you need to know that i work in a restaurant and always play in the middle of the night!

Either soft enough that it barely escapes the room or straight into the headphones.

The only time I "let her rip" is during the week when Myra and both the girls who live upstairs are gone.
