Quiet Play

Quiet Play Pickleball, which typically means playing pickleball with noise-reducing equipment or in a way that minimizes sound. This is often done to accommodate noise ordinances in certain communities or to be considerate of neighbors in residential areas.

​

Here are a few ways "Quiet Play Pickleball" is implemented:

• Low-Noise Paddles: Some paddles are designed with materials that reduce the “pop” sound when hitting the ball.

• Quieter Balls: Special low-decibel balls, often made with different materials, help reduce noise.

• Designated Quiet Play Hours: Some clubs or facilities set specific times for quieter play.

• Sound Barriers: Some courts use windscreen-like barriers to absorb noise.
