Why is bass louder further away?

the lower the note, the longer the wave. That's sound physics. Higher tones don't project as far since they carry less energy. It takes a stronger speaker to produce bass notes, which contain more energy with a similar volume, and thus carry further.

Why does bass travel further than treble?

Because low-frequency tones have larger wavelengths, they penetrate different materials better than high-frequency ones. That's why you hear the bass from your neighbour's speakers but not the treble.

Is bass high or low-frequency?

Bass describes the low-end spectrum of frequency response and ranges from 20Hz to 250Hz. It is the deep and heavy tones in your music, like low rumbles, kick drums, and bass instruments.

Why do we feel bass?

While humans have a narrow hearing range, the human body is smart and can compensate. When our eardrums cannot fully perceive a very low pitch, our skeletal system will try to compensate. This is part of the reason why we can feel bass using speakers and subwoofers but not using most headphones.
