  1. Bunch of Karens complaining about a public recreation place noise. 🤔

  2. Pickleball is for boomers Or unathletic fools who think this is a sport fr cmon play basketball oh wait its too tough huh😂

  3. If they despise the sound, they don't understand the joy of playing the game. They should give it a try!!! 🙂🙃

  4. "I get it I have a house" lol. Why not mandate the noise cancelling paddles. Easy solution.

  5. Well, I guess I would play recordings of traffic in the city as they play ball. As loud as I can. When the games stop, the noise stop, when they start, the traffic sounds start.

  6. What were tennis courts for 40 years in our neighborhood are now pickle ball courts. Thankfully we are several hundred yards away. We do hear them (yes, from 7 a.m. till 9 p.m. everyday), for us it's tolerable, but not for the neighborhood dogs (which we don't tolerate their constant barking well) and I'm sure it's terrible for the families nearer. I know one of the closest families is caring for an elderly mother.😢

  7. sounds like a bunch of karens complaining about the noise

  8. Got to love first world problems

  9. White on white crime lol

  10. ⚠️Make it mandatory for all the players to use noise canceling rackets. I’m on the side of the home owners.🏡

  11. I called it old people tennis when I first saw it years ago touring my uncles retirement community in Florida. It’s funny that it’s so popular now

  12. Cut the net, not the player 😉

  13. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 aren't there more serious problems in the world than this ?

  14. lol. old people making all that racket.

  15. 😂 pickle ball brings “undesirables” to the neighborhood🤣

  16. The noise beats slideshows and gun shots.

  17. The sounds of people being outside! I love it!

  18. Never live near a busy street.. the pool or….pickleball court. You need a better realtor 😂

  19. The worse part is when they ruin the tennis net

  20. Gunshots?Haha,i can’t hear that,I just hear the sound of having fun.

  21. REALLY!!! With everything going on this is headline news.

  22. some white folks just get anxiety because of everything lol

  23. Old people problems I swear

  24. Yanks always play the most tackiest sports of all time, like pickleball and american handball.

  25. “It has destroyed our peace of mind” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

  26. The solution is to purchase a set of noise canceling headphones, that you can also use while on your phone or just turn down your hearing aid.

  27. Karens will find a way to complaint about something

  28. Noise complaints from all these Karens 😂

  29. Some of the possible solutions aside from using quiet (noice-cancelling) paddle were to use softer tennis-like ball instead of plastic; soundproofing fences; limiting early morning and late-night playing hours; and building the courts farther away from residences.

  30. Buy some earplugs and SHUT UP! The pickleball sound is not loud.

  31. What happened, to hearing people outside enjoying themselves, does that creep far and wide. Maybe you shouldnt.

  32. A new reason for Karen’s to find a reason to live

  33. Man upset because he is reminded that other people exist
