Pickleball’s booming popularity in Vietnam sparks noise complaints and tension between players and neighbors.
Pickleball’s surge in Vietnam has triggered widespread noise complaints in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, where courts in tight residential areas generate constant high-pitched popping sounds that disrupt sleep and daily life.
Residents describe the noise as unbearable, with some reporting stress and health issues, while authorities label the sport an “acoustic hazard.” Despite national noise regulations, enforcement is inconsistent, and over 16 million people are estimated to have tried pickleball, making Vietnam one of Asia’s fastest-growing markets for the sport.
Tensions grow between players and neighbors as officials struggle to balance recreation and quality of life.
