I cat sit for a kitty that requires I spend the night. They live right next to the pickleball courts. The first two days drive me up the wall -- I hear every hit and it reverbates in my head. By the third day, they are a background noise -- I hear them but they're no more annoying than traffic noise. By day five, I rarely hear them at all.

Now, I'm very noise sensitive, so it probably bothers me more than many (even fountains irritate my ears and you should see me if there is a drip in the house). But the pickleball noise is a sound that does seem to fade away over time. Some of your visitors might be bothered but they'll be leaving soon and the noise will just end being a sound to them before they leave.
