Letter of the day Persistent pickleball noise disrupts residents' peace

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the ongoing noise disturbances caused by pickleball games at the badminton court below my residence at Block 524 Jelapang Road.

Over the past few months, two groups of pickleball enthusiasts have been utilising the court daily, from 8am to 11am, including on weekends and public holidays.

Unlike badminton, pickleball produces sharp, high-pitched sounds from the hard paddles striking the plastic balls. These sounds are particularly disruptive in the densely populated HDB environment, where noise reverberates off surrounding buildings.
