No. Not unless you have a very, very cheap house :)
It's not a sustained vibration.

You will have to have some concert sized subwoofers and 1,000's of watts to damage the structure of your average building or home.
Most building are designed to flex a little to compensate for the climate's affect on the materials used to build with, and perhaps even to withstand minor earthquakes.
You would have to have a serious home sub just to get things to rattle off the shelves or fall off the walls, much less damage a building structure.
Bottom line: you have nothing to worry about unless your building is built very poorly, which wouldn't be liveable anyway if that was the case.
Happy listening!

I doubt it will damage the structure but you can damage the cosmetics. Sometimes things will fall off walls and there might be some other small damage to different things.

No, i have worked in the construction industry for a number of years. Homes these days must pass rigrious inspection process that protects the resident of structural damages, electrical, faulty plumbing etc. So, you are fine, even if your "rocking the boat" best of times.

Assuming your house has a base of cement, and walls of wood, no worries. It wouldn't even hurt a cheap house. Houses are made to weather the climates. It would have to be a sound loud enough to make you go deaf before it could hurt your house. Look at all the houses by airports. ;)

Yes, but only in Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and most parts of Fresno. Otherwise you're cool.

Only if the volume is high enough. Likely, it would take several decades of exposure to loud music of any frequency set to significantly weaken any modern construction.
However, certain spaces, based off of their dimensions, have a RESONANT frequency. I had a room with a bathroom, and while singing "Under the Bridge" in the shower, I noticed that one particular tone sounded louder than normal. If the room lacks accoustic padding (such as soft furniture), there is a frequency at which the room actually vibrates. "Under The Bridge" just happened to have the correct tone for my bathroom. Playing that singular frequency can have catastrophic results at the right volume.
Sound causes vibrations, which will over time weaken physical bonds in materials, resulting in their breakdown or destruction. Theoretically, it is possible, but it would take a LOT of sound, for a VERY long period of time, to make a difference.
