is pickleball noisy let's find out as a
0:02
reference point when you're in a
0:03
neighborhood you want about 50 decibels
0:05
of sound exposure which is similar to a

steady rainfall now when you compare

0:43
popping off the paddle as I hit a
0:44
winning shot however if I was a neighbor

close to the pickleball courts myself I
0:49
completely understand the frustration
0:51
and irritation by the sound levels of
