Pickleball Equipment Market: Efforts Toward Combating Noise Related Issues to Influence Participation & Demand
Noise issues stemming from pickleball sport have started gaining attention, with residents near pickleball courts even bringing lawsuits against the local government for resolving the issues. Development of quiet paddles is being viewed by manufacturers as a key solution to the problem. High noise from pickleball, on account of plastic ball and hard paddles employed, are being tackled by city courts and retirement communities who are retro-fitting acoustic barriers for alleviating the problem.
Several new pickleball courts are now being constructed with soundproof fences, for minimizing the noise. Moreover, cities and communities are strategically constructed courts far away from residential areas, while, in some cases, limiting late night and early morning playing hours.

Although there are no official noise rating approval for pickleball equipment by relevant governing bodies, such as IPF or USAPA, pickleball clubs and communities have come up with the list of Green Zone & quiet-approved paddles for use in their facilities. These unofficial yet extensive approval lists will continue to influence pickleball paddle developments in the near future.
