How to equalize out deepest bass?

Hello,
I recently replaced bluetooth connection to my speakers with lossless digital optical and discovered that bluetooth due to compression was cutting off lowest frequencies and now my great speaker system is able to shake the floor, which I don't want, since I live in an apartment complex.

Can anyone please recommend me a way to reduce the volume of the deepest bass frequencies that go through the walls?
Built-in equalizer DSP lowest slider is 55 hz and that's seems too high, I'm looking to dampen frequencies up to 55 hz I guess without affecting higher ones. Is there a DSP with larger range?

You could use an HPF (High Pass Filter). The latest Foobar has VST plugin capability built in, so I'd recommend downloading a free VST EQ plugin such as Slick EQ, and using its High Pass Filter set to where it sounds best, start at 55Hz and experiment.

There are lots of other free filter/EQ plugins too.

"An elaborate auto gain option automatically compensates for changes of perceived loudness during EQ operation"

This has been asked for before.

Or IIR Filter DSP and Lowshelf from foo_dsp_effect - https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_dsp_effect
Yeah, that's is something I actually use for my foobar2000 stuffs

While it lacks a higher-order filtering (which arguably creates more ringing and phase shifts) on its own, you can stack these filters (in this case, highpass filter placed below 30Hz or something like that) by repeatedly inserting the same "IIR Filter" effect over and over, which I've already done with repeatedly stacking allpass filters for bass boosting purposes
