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

Do your speakers have spikes? Is your floor laminate?

I have laminate floors and had a major vibration when my sub was setup down firing on spikes. It rattled the floor. I changed it to forward firing on the rubber feet and it went away. Without the spikes down firing configuration resulted in a roaming subwoofer that needed to be tied down.

My subwoofer on spikes made the laminate floor straight up rattle against the subfloor. Definitely isolate for me.
