> Does anyone have a theory or answer as to why the bass carries so far? At least thinking about the physics keeps me from going postal. (-: Regardless of why it carries so far, if you are hearing it a few houses away, your local constabulary will almost certainly issue a disturbing the peace notice for that sort of thing. If this is happening on a semi-regular (more than once a month) basis, I'd suggest leaving flyers in mailboxes of the other neighbors encouraging them to call the police. After four or five instances of four or five calls on the same house from different people, something will happen. This is the sort of thing that needs to be nipped in the bud to prevent a good neighborhood going bad.
