    Answer:

    Absolute Threshold

    Explanation:

    An absolute threshold refers to the lowest level of stimulus that can be detected, 50% of the time. It can be applied to any stimulus that can be detected by the human senses including: sound, touch, taste, sight, and smell. For example in the above situation your neighbor turns the volume down to the level that you hear it the smallest, so that your absolute threshold allows you to hear it around 50% of the time.

    Absolute Threshold

    Explanation:

    An absolute threshold is the smallest level of stimulus that can be detected, usually defined as at least half the time.

    The term is often used in neuroscience and experimental research and can be applied to any stimulus that can be detected by the human senses including sound, touch, taste, sight, and smell.

    In this scenario, the human sense used is the sense of sound, so you telling your neighbor to the volume down until you can not hear it simply means he should lower it below your absolute threshold for hearing, since any sound above the absolute threshold of your hearing would cause a sensation in your ears.
