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

this is the debate of trying to couple the speakers to the floor or isolate them. Some would say that for suspended wood floors you should try and isolate them and not spike (couple) them to the floor.
