For pickleball players, the sights and sounds of a packed pickleball court brings joy! The popping of the pickleball off the paddle, action at the kitchen line, laughs and cries, what’s not to love?
As the fastest growing sport in the United States continues to expand, pickleball courts are being built at an unprecedented pace! For those who haven’t caught the pickleball bug yet, the addition of pickleball courts in residential areas can create unwanted noise. To combat the increase in noise, some areas have imposed noise restrictions in order to avoid disturbing the non-pickler community. Advances in pickleball paddle technology have made it much easier to continue enjoying the sport we love while also abiding by these new restrictions! Pickleball paddles are quieter than ever due to innovations in their core material and what was once a small list of niche paddles has grown significantly. Today, players can find a paddle that will meet their playing needs and budget while also addressing area noise restrictions!

Still have concerns over the amount of noise coming from a pickleball court, even with one of the paddles above?
In some noise restricted areas, pickleball players have worked with local municipalities to put up sound barriers to disperse noise. Others have added Acoustifence to their facilities. This can be a costly solution, but allows more players on the courts for more pickleball!
Pickleball is all about fun and we want to make sure that as many people get to participate as possible, while still being respectful to the community at large. So, if you live in a community that enforces noise restrictions, grab one of the paddles from the list above and hit the court!
