This is why we continue to dither about 'downsizing' from a house to a flat. We have good thick walls, and relatively quiet neighbours, and remember back when we lived in a flat. The woman above us seemed to be permanently hoovering, whilst the woman in the flat next to us played opera very loudly all day and well into the night. She was a bit crazy, and had barricaded the way to her door with bins and cardboard boxes to hinder people from complaining to her about the noise. And we lived on the ground floor. Imagine having noisy neighbours above and below you!
i got offered a modern flat down rd from me by the housing association as i am disabled.. I said over my cold, dead body couldnt stand having so many folk around me. Ive only one neighbour with a connection to house. am an end terrace with driveway and big garden, plus good neighbours bar the connecting one.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Well, I put a fairly bass heavy tune on and had the music at a level slightly louder than I would normally, which was high 60s dB (thank you for the tip Adrian). I popped downstairs to speak to the neighbour below me, he said he couldn't hear a thing and never has, result! I asked if he could hear the bass thump and he said not at all. He did comment on how considerate it was of me to ask, I'm glad I did as it's more enjoyable to listen to music without worry.
All's well that ends well.
Thanks to all for your input, it was much appreciated

I found first generation air inflated Townshend
audio seismic sinks to be excellent at decoupling speakers from floor. I used them on wooden floors.
When spiked to floors, the bass would rattle the floors and I could feel it in my feet. Using sinks, all the vibration was absorbed and nothing transmitted to floors. Appreciate concrete is different to timber so effect may be different.

"Sound vibrates the molecules in the wall the same as it des the molecules in the air - is my understanding anyway. So airborne and structure borne transmission are essentially the same thing. "
Yes Martin, but we are discussing which route the leakage may be through, and the curative treatment is appropriate to that route.
