Mine too!  (actually upstairs neighbor!)    The next time she plays her 
stereo for the complex (with her doors and windows closed), she has to move 
(if the office gets wind of it - or should I say *hears* about it!).  It's 
been an ongoing battle (literally) for the past 2 months and she just can't 
understand that what carries is the bass.  It took the manager coming into my 
apartment and hearing for herself (the manager) to understand what the 
problem was.  All we heard was the bass...  every note... and the 
neighbor didn't work so she played her stereo all hours of the day and night. 
 We would often get home after a gig and get to listen to rap bass for about 
an hour before we finally had no choice but to call the office's answering 
service. The last time the manager confronted my neighbor about the noise 
(more than just me have complained, including maintenance who live on the 
property), the manager had to ask my neighbor to turn her stereo down (while 
inside her apartment) and tried to explain to her that she couldn't entertain 
the complex with her stereo and that she was gonna have to turn everything 
down.  Then the management came to my apartment just to listen - The neighbor 
didn't realize that the management was in my apartment and turned her stereo 
back up.  "WHAT is that?" was the manager's question.  "Her bass! If she 
would just turn it down, we wouldn't be feeling and hearing the "heartbeat of 
America!"
If it hadn't been so hard to live with, it would have be funny because I 
could easily turn my stereo up (and have on at least one occasion in an 
attempt to get her to realize how loud she was...).  That occurred after 
enduring nearly 2 hours of incessant bass.  But I had more respect for the 
rest of the building (as well as the complex) to crank mine up and keep it 
there, just so I could drown out the sound of her bass.  (Joke here:  Drums 
beating in the jungle... Safari tourist asks "What happens when drums stop?" 
Safari guide: "Oh, no... We *DON'T* want that!"  "Why?" inquired the tourist. 
 "That means the bass player takes a break!"
