As a physician, I’m thrilled to see so many people enjoying 

the social and physical benefits of pickleball. At the same time, I’m deeply concerned that the noise impact on nearby residents is far more serious than anyone anticipated.

A few years ago, two tennis courts near our home were converted to six busy pickleball courts just 50 feet away. I loved playing—even tore my Achilles tendon—but over time, my family and I came to understand the toll of constant noise in our home.

As I heard how others were affected, patterns emerged suggesting the noise was leading to health-related concerns. This led me to collaborate with Dr. Daniel Fink and others on research exploring the potential link between pickleball noise and health.
