Hearing pool pumps is a common complaint here due to the nearness of neighbors. We bought our home between two lots that were not large enough to put in a pool so we would not have to put up with that in the future. We also passed on a home we were going to buy that the neighbor had just put in a pool and we could hear the pump in the home we were looking at. In any event, hearing the pump is better than living next to pickle ball courts.
One problem is that many houses have a garage on one side of the house and bedrooms on the other side. When a new pool is installed, the pool contractor will locate the pump on the garage side right next to the next door neighbor's bedrooms. So, the neighbor hears the noise, but the pool owner is not affected nearly as much.

I think The Villages needs to address this issue with new rules.

On a related topic, all wind chimes should be banned.
