The constant pok-pok-pok noise of a ball hitting a hard paddle might be satisfying to players, but it can be as annoying as a clicking pen to others. What others? Anyone who lives within the sound of a game who doesn’t play. Between the laughter and hoots of boisterous spectators, to that pok-pok rhythm, the sounds of pickleball have led to complaints that may limit play in the future. If you’re making a real estate purchase decision, consider the pickleball court. If you’re buying because you like it, know that it might not stick around. And if you don’t like it, consider buying a unit further away from the court.
