Bass sensation like a loud car system in home?

I know this is a bit of a silly question but bear with me here:

What options are there for getting that feeling of a powerful subwoofer vibrating through your body in your home?  I know the easiest option would be to just put a capable subwoofer next to your seating and let it hit as hard as it can.  I'm also not trying to make all of my neighbors hate me so I'm looking for some creative solutions to pulling it off at reasonable residential volumes.

I'm thinking that some combination of tactile transducers in the couch and a subwoofer next to or also installed inside of the couch would get pretty close.  Being right under your body I wonder what kind of decibels would actually be required to get a bass massage going.  Without the sensation of the high volume bass it also might just seem silly and be a complete waste of time aside from watching movies.

Thoughts?

Have you tried cranking up the volume then listen from outside (exterior windows and doors closed) ? It may not be as loud as you think

Maybe you can borrow or get a returnable sub to evaluate the exterior sound leakage.

Tolerance of other home noise is dependent on the neighborhood. I have neighbors who occasionally have parties and “occasionally” jack up the music at “reasonable” (non sleeping) hours which I don’t mind because sometimes people just need to cut loose (destress) usually on weekends. So chances are it’s ok to jack up music occasionally during reasonable hours.

Or you can play better music that your neighbors enjoy :)
