Silencing Pickleball: One Man's Solution to the Noise Problem.
Pickleball, America's fastest growing sport, has a noise problem that has led to lawsuits. Bob Unetich, a former engineer and pickleball lover, has founded Pickleball Sound Mitigation to provide consulting and advice on keeping the noise down. Unetich's research has found that different materials in the equipment, as well as sound barriers, can help. The simplest solution is just to build courts far enough away from people. He hopes his research and consultancy will help so he can keep playing.
