Just saw The Village's YouTube video on Olympia (Rec) Taking Shape In Eastport. The narrator mentioned, in addition to 4 basketball courts and 2 volleyball courts, 6 pickleball courts will all be in the indoor gym. This is in addition to the large, non-Village, indoor pickleball facility being built in the top half of The Villages.

Can you wear EarPods or Bose or some other kind of noise cancelling device? I mean, pickleball racket (pun intended) is bad enough with the outdoor courts - I can't imagine how damaging and hard to concentrate it will be with indoor courts! If you're trying to play volleyball, the echoing of the incessant Ker-Plop from 100 feet away is akin to freeway noise (70db) according to this detailed study (The sound of pickleball – a detailed explanation, and what you need to consider before building courts – Crazy Pickleball Lady).

I'm pretty certain indoor pickleball will not be a sustainably pleasant activity.
