This is true. Last time basketball courts play until 10pm no issues.
Now, people so intolerant simi noise also cannot...act atas.... fenced up courts now must close at 9.30pm or even 9pm. Those non-fenced up probably will kena police come and spotcheck why hang around after lights turned off.

it also help our badminton court was placed in location with clear distance from blocks.

Pickleball sound is high pitched and honestly more annoying compared to basketball

Time for curfew in residential areas

Everyone home by 9pm .....

Only acceptable excuse is work travel or going to hospital or airport.

All Cofffee shop close 8:45 latest.

All supermarkets same.

Folk have 15 mins to get home or its a fine.

TVs need to fixed so that max volume will not be able to be heard by neighbours also


I think it should not even be allowed to play due to the noise it generates ... imagine after one tiring day after work, you just want to have a restful evening (from 5 pm ~ 10 pm) to recharge your mind and body, these unnecessary nuisance noise keeps interrupting your rightful rest ... I think sports should be made on the consideration it does not badly affecting others ...

No matter what activities, legal or not, no discussion needed if it involve noise near any residential buildings.

No one in the right mind will say, they loved noisy environment to live-in.

i am surprised nobody complain about basketball, apart from the bouncing, there are also player shouting and laughing constantly. "好球“, ”快點傳!“ ,”準啊!“

700 only? I expected 7000...

Anyway, you can train your patience and mind endurance by listening on YouTube. I recommend max volume for overwhelming comfort:
