You agree you also can hear your stuff in thier area.. That is too loud.
You might try finding out what is allowing the sound to penetrate their area.
The door may need some sound deadening. The floor may need some too. Small carpets, or padding..
Are you upstairs? or on the same level?
The usual problem is the music in the background is distracting. And if the person who does not want to hear it dislikes the music, that makes it even worse.
If more than one person is complaining, I would say you are S.O.L. on getting them to just accept it.
You could also try headphones as a 'relief' strategy, when you really want to rock out and they all want peace and quiet.

Noise is one of those things that can drive some folks totally crazy, so i would say you should really try to accomodate the folks complaining if you want any life at all... Even if you have to turn your room into a padded bunker.
