to be fair, pickleball rly noisy...
the players themselves wont feel it but the residents are hearing them everyday by different group of players...

put ourselves in their shoes can understand the pain
Those players got/need to wear earbuds boh? If not later their hearing affected.

thats why ish called public housing, surrounding area used by public,

if govt allow pickleball courts to be built, then nothing much to say except to install double glazed windows.

high floor may amplify the noise if the sound got bounced in the correct angle

The best part is these lousy players spent more time chasing and picking up the ball than actually playing it. Should name as pickup ball instead.
