Pickleball — The Noise Heard Around The Neighborhood

Pickleball's Pounding Problem: How Indow Window Inserts Can Serve as an Ace Against the Noise

What could be the unexpected connection between these three stories of domestic agony and torturous noise? It’s not new construction, dangerous street racing, or late night partying…

It’s Pickleball.

This paddle sport is rapidly gaining popularity across America. Its rapid growth has led to a boom in court construction, often near homes. But the sport is facing a formidable foe: noise complaints.

The incessant "pop, pop, pop" of pickleball paddles smacking balls is driving some neighbors to the brink, who are reporting insomnia, stress, and even a decline in quality of life.

The Thwack Heard Round the Neighborhood

Homeowners across the country are bearing the brunt of pickleball's sonic boom. They report increased anxiety and stress as the constant racket is grating and leads to feelings of unease and agitation. Of course, enjoying one's own property becomes difficult when a nearby pickleball court becomes the soundtrack to daily life.

But why exactly is Pickleball noise so annoying while other racket sports like Tennis have never been involved in similar controversies?

Although the decibel levels are not exceptionally high, the “pop, pop, pop” sound of Pickleball playing has some unique characteristics that make it particularly bothersome.

• High pitch: The sound of paddles hitting the ball falls within a range that humans are particularly sensitive to.

• Erratic rhythm: The unpredictable nature of the game creates a constant barrage of sound, unlike the steady hum of traffic or lawnmowers.
