HELP slight floor vibration auditory vibrate noise


I have slight floor vibration on my wood floors and a small amount of auditory vibrate noise when I play loud. I am listening on my chair on a shag rug in living room.

The sound is otherwise excellent with no boominess and very transparent sounding.

I use Reference 3A speakers that go down only to about 38Hz–20kHz, +/-3dB.

I hear this even when not using my REL R218 subwoofer although slightly less so.

Is it bass around 40-60 hz doing this ?

I am concerned that corner bass traps may be overkill?

any thoughts?

thanks in advance

You might try isolating your sub from the floor. For $60 bucks, an Auralex subwoofer isolation platform can work extremely well...we use it under our Velodyne DD18 and it is great. Much better bass, and no complaints from the neighbors!

Start there...and you [might] try the same with your speakers using Stillpoints or something...but start with the sub.
good news Radioheadokplayer...yes, as Theo mentioned, i also put mass damping on top of the unit...i happen to use 30kg (66lbs) of solid brass weight on top of those HRS nimbus coupler things. Helps a bit yet again.
