Acentech’s pickleball noise experts featured in The Washington Post

Pickleball may be fun—but its noise isn’t always music to the ears!

When The Washington Post set out to uncover why pickleball noise is so uniquely annoying, they turned to Acentech’s own Andy Carballeira, Jack Taylor, and Jim Moore for insight. Our research and practical expertise helped explain the science of sound, perception, and community impact behind this growing challenge.

At Acentech, we’re helping developers and municipalities understand and address pickleball noise with the same rigor we bring to every acoustical and environmental noise study.
