The TV in My Vegas Hotel Room Had No Low End

The sound coming out off the TV had only midrange and high frequencies. And you better believe I tried to find the settings to add the low end back in!

But why do some hotels purposefully remove the low frequencies from the TV speakers?

Because low frequencies travel through walls and could disturb people in neighboring rooms.

Some of the midrange frequencies can travel through the wall too, but most of them get absorbed by the walls, unlike the low frequencies which pretty much go right through walls sustaining only a bit of attenuation.
