Good morning everyone,

I am writing here looking for advice. I live in an apartment building and I often find myself having to study at night, using a digital piano with headphones. The sound cannot be heard, but the clicking of the keys is definitely annoying and I would like to avoid complaints from the neighbors. Do you have any advice on how to "limit" the spread of this noise a bit? thanks!

The exact same problem I had in the past! pre-ci-so!

I solved it (I think) in a fairly simple way (after experimenting with the whole world!): I cut up (into squares, to be precise) one of those camping mats (cost: about 10 euros) and put some of them (one on top of the other) under each foot of my digipiano's stand; furthermore, I interposed a layer of shreds (squares, in this case too) of rags (the kind used for household cleaning). Of course, the height of the surface increased by 3-4 cm; and aesthetically speaking, it's not exactly the height of fashion.... but since I adopted this solution (I don't think I solved the problem 100%, though), the tenant downstairs hasn't complained anymore. Try it to believe it
