Acoustical Solutions for Pickleball Courts
Why Pickleball Courts Need Acoustics
Pickleball is a popular sport that can generate a lot of noise, especially from the sound of the ball hitting the paddle and players vocalizing their excitement. If not addressed, the excessive noise can disturb players, spectators, and residents who live nearby outdoor courts, affecting the functionality, services, sales, and other activities in indoor facilities.
Pickleball courts are typically located in indoor or outdoor facilities that have hard surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, wood, and metal, which reflect sound. Unlike these hard surfaces, K-13 and SonaSpray "fc" absorb excessive noise to ensure an optimal acoustic environment. These products are durable, damage-resistant, and can be tailored to meet acoustic, thermal, lighting, and design objectives for indoor and outdoor, covered pickleball projects.
Acoustical Solutions for Pickleball Courts
K-13 and SonaSpray "fc" are high-performance, spray-applied acoustical finishes that are ideal for both indoor and outdoor, covered pickleball courts. Unlike hard surfaces, these products absorb excessive noise, especially the hard-to-treat, high-frequency sounds common in pickleball courts.
K-13 and SonaSpray "fc" adhere to common substrates such as metal decking, concrete, and gypsum, and create a durable, damage-resistant surface. Ideal for both new construction and retrofit projects, these products come in standard and custom color options to complement any
brand or design aesthetic.
Readily available, these products are schedule- and budget-friendly!
Sound Absorption data
According to a study by Acoustical Design Collaborative, the most problematic frequencies for pickleball courts are between 500 Hz and 4,000 Hz, with peaks at 1,000 Hz and 2,000 Hz.
K-13 & SonaSpray "fc" provide optimal acoustic absorption.
