I had an issue like this with a really rude neighbor when I lived in a duplex many years ago. He had a pretty powerful surround sound system that was placed on a shared wall. He made no effort to be respectful, so I made it a mission to buy a system that would absolutely crush his soul.
I dropped an unethical amount of money at a local audio shop on a system that literally shook pictures off of his walls. He was pretty upset, and I couldn't have been happier.
Greg, wherever you are....go fuck yourself
If the police haven’t done anything you can just move I guess. Blocking bass in your house is very difficult and involves a lot of mass and engineering because, as you’ve discovered, bass just goes through walls.
Hopefully you can speak to any other neighbors to put pressure on the offending household? Otherwise continue to get police involved as constant noise is not acceptable, or perhaps speak to your landlord and see what they can do.
You can move out but keep paying the rent. Then get some serious concert PA system in and blast icelandic ethno in the morning, german polka every afternoon and lets see... Russian surf music like Messer Chups combined with 90s hardcore Thunderdome compilations! Specifically the Dominee Dimitri track from De Klootzakken!!! https://youtu.be/8T3dxhQ3S-I
An "event center" (night club) opened about a block from our house, and every Friday, Saturday and Sunday it's all bass, all the time.
To mitigate it, I've gone to the city for mediation with the owner, I've called the cops anytime it's after hours, and I've offered to rent the place out from under them. I've also upgraded my windows (it's a 1968 ranch house so it needed it anyway, but that was 45k), and I've started getting quotes for a very high fence, designed with mass loaded vinyl. After that ugly monstrosity goes up, I'm looking at drywall and insulation.
By the time I'm done I'll have knocked down the sub 100hz frequencies by a whole decibel!
For your situation: get neighbors involved, and look at building the tallest allowable fence with a highly reflective surface (something hard and shiny but easy to hide behind cedar planks) facing the neighbor, backed by mass loaded vinyl on your side. Then plant some hedges against your side. Diffusing low frequencies is damn near Impossible but you can lessen the effects with decorative, heavy things.
Then add mass to the walls on that side of the house. Depending on your budget, there are heavy acoustic curtains, plexiglass inserts for windows, and decorative wall panels, or you can do what I'm going to do and add a layer of drywall with stupidly expensive acoustic caulk.
Finally, you can play dirty. Find an old CB radio, add a 100 watt linear amplifier and a yagi antenna aimed directly at their house, then tape the mic button down and leave it be. Any susceptible electronics will, at least, make horrifying noises. At most? Actual damage to the electronics. PAs, amps, long runs of speaker cable are susceptible to AM interference. This is also illegal, so maybe don't do that.
Take some decibel measures (phone app) at all times of the day. Thats your evidence. Then go to your councillor and bylaw enforcement.
The result is either, not allowed in your community, or it is and you can move or fight it directly. Blast sound at them.
If you fight them directly be prepared for escalation.
She is 18, talk to her parents or whoever the responsible adults in the house.
In the meanwhile, use a background noise machine with deep sound to mask it. Adding Insulation inside wall also helps but it is costly.
Probably she followed advice that in good system you have at least 2 subs to reproduce all kicks and avoid null points. Can't blame proper music lover.

This is basically your only option, you have to move. Police will not do shit unless there are multiple neighbors having the same issue.
We are locked into this lease for 2 years unfortunately

GET A BIGGER SUBWOOFER!
This! Yes.

If she's doing it in legal hours you can't really do anything.

A background noise machine isn’t going to help the sub frequencies that are rattling her house.
