How has pickleball noise impacted survey respondents' daily life?
13:44
We were really surprised to find out that almost three out of four respondents report being able to hear the noise inside their homes.
13:53
It's one thing to have it be at the edge of your property and it's just there an hour or two a day, but almost 75% said they can hear the noise inside their homes, often with windows and doors shut.
14:06
More than eight in 10 respondents reported that they are either frequently or always unable to talk, relax, or concentrate in their homes because of the popping noise.
14:20
That's really significant.
14:23

14:32
Lots of people left comments.
