because many people hear with laptop speakers nowdays
he cant break the laws of physics :shrug:
physics ?
speaker size is relative to the freqs they can produce.
laptops have tiny speakers. therefore cant really produce bass frequencies.

moving the bass up to compensate, would mean its no longer bass on most decent speakers and more lo mid.
it sounds awesome to me with this low bass , but it would be good if the bass was more audible
I see people say everywhere mix your track to all sound systems to make sure it's good on any sound system
what is the outcome if your track bass there on studio monitors but your bass is not there on phone speakers and laptop speakers

Nobody produces music for inferior laptop speakers. Or other speakers which can only play back a very narrow frequency range.

Vurt explained why. Even if you would amplify the bass in the range where laptop speakers simply won't work, it wouldn't be much better, while being much worse on any decent speaker.

This. A good mix should still sound fine even on a crap soundsystem, and only get better on a higher-quality system. This is not a contradiction at all.

I googled "speaker audio test." There are utilities for every platform.

I did that before , mine can produce from 50hz ,but when I did this I read that the test was designed to be audible on the most crap sound system
I wander why this track isn't like this

You've got some settings somewhere way out of whack then. If your speakers can produce 50Hz and above then you can hear bass. If you can't hear bass, there simply has to be a general Eq setting somewhere that's filtering out bass.
Having said that - are you sure your laptop can make 50Hz bass? Really? Are you absolutely not just making that up? Your speakers on your laptop must be half the size of the actual laptop if so...
