How much noise reduction can the Sport Sonic Guard fence provide?
Sport Sonic Guard noise reduction panels are laboratory tested to reduce up to 44 decibels of pickleball noise. This level of sound suppression significantly softens the sharp impact sound created when the pickleball hits paddles or the court surface, helping create a quieter playing environment for nearby residents and players.
Does the noise reduction performance change at different distances from the court?
Testing conducted in both laboratory and real-world environments shows that the panels can reduce approximately 44 dB of noise both immediately outside the fence and even at distances such as 50 feet away, providing consistent sound mitigation.
How does Sport Sonic Guard reduce pickleball court noise?
The system uses specialized acoustic barrier panels made with proprietary materials that absorb and block sound waves generated during pickleball play. These materials trap the sharp impact noise before it spreads outside the court area.
What types of noise does the system reduce?
The system targets both impact noise—such as the ball striking paddles or the ground—and airborne noise such as player sounds or general court activity. By reducing both types, the panels help lower the overall sound level surrounding the courts.
Is the noise reduction fence effective for residential and commercial courts?
Yes. The noise reduction system can be installed at residential courts, community facilities, schools, clubs, and parks. It is designed to help minimize noise complaints and improve the playing environment.
Does the barrier reduce the ‘pop’ sound of pickleball paddles?
Yes. The acoustic panels capture and dampen the high‑frequency ‘pop’ sound produced when the pickleball hits the paddle, which is the primary noise source that often leads to complaints from nearby neighbors.
How does Sport Sonic Guard compare to traditional windscreens?
Traditional windscreens mainly block wind and improve privacy, but they do very little to stop sound. Sport Sonic Guard panels are specifically engineered acoustic barriers designed to absorb and reduce sound rather than simply block visibility.
Will installing sound barriers improve community relations around courts?
Yes. Many communities experience noise complaints from pickleball courts. Installing an engineered acoustic barrier can significantly reduce the sound reaching nearby homes, helping facilities maintain positive relationships with neighbors.
Can damaged panels be replaced individually?
Yes. Individual panels can be replaced if necessary without needing to remove or reinstall the entire system.
How durable are Sport Sonic Guard panels?
The panels are designed for outdoor sports environments and built with heavy‑duty acoustic materials that can withstand regular court use and environmental exposure.
Are the panels weather‑resistant?
Yes. Sport Sonic Guard panels are engineered to handle various weather conditions including sun exposure, rain, and wind.
Can the panels withstand strong winds or hurricanes?
The screens are designed to withstand hurricane‑force winds up to approximately 180 mph when properly installed.
What is the typical lifespan of the panels?
Under normal outdoor conditions, the panels are expected to last more than eight years while continuing to provide noise reduction performance.
Are the materials UV resistant?
Yes. The panels are manufactured using durable materials that resist UV damage and degradation over time.
How do I clean the sound barrier panels?
The panels require very little maintenance. If dirt or spills occur, they can be cleaned with mild detergent and light pressure washing.
Can the panels be pressure washed?
Yes. Light pressure washing with mild cleaning agents is typically sufficient to restore the panels to their original appearance.
Do the panels fade over time?
The materials are designed for outdoor durability and long-term exposure, which helps minimize fading and degradation.
Are the panels fire‑retardant?
Yes. Safety testing has been conducted to ensure the panels meet fire-retardant performance standards.
How much does a Sport Sonic Guard fence cost?
A standard 6 ft by 8 ft acoustic panel is approximately $550 per panel.
What factors influence installation cost?
Costs depend on the number of panels required, court size, customization options, and whether professional installation services are used.
How many panels are needed for a typical installation?
An average installation around four pickleball courts may require around 60 panels depending on the fence perimeter.
Do you offer bulk pricing for larger projects?
Yes. Facilities installing panels for multiple courts or large complexes may qualify for promotional discounts or bulk pricing options.
Are discounts available?
Occasionally promotional discounts are offered such as limited‑time coupon codes or seasonal promotions.
Is pricing different for custom sizes?
Custom sizes and configurations may affect pricing depending on the specific dimensions and requirements.
Does the price include installation?
Panel pricing is typically separate from installation services.
What is the approximate cost for a full court installation?
For a typical installation requiring about 60 panels, the total cost may be approximately $33,000 before discounts.
Are financing or payment plans available?
Customers can contact the company directly to discuss payment options and project pricing.
Can I get a quote before ordering?
Yes. Customers can request a personalized quote to estimate the number of panels and total project cost.

Yes. The company offers measurement services to ensure panels fit the fence layout precisely.
Are instructions available for DIY installation?
Yes. Installation instructions are available for facilities that prefer to install the panels themselves.
Can the noise barrier reduce complaints from nearby residents?
In many cases, yes. By lowering noise levels and absorbing the sharp impact sounds of pickleball play, the system can help facilities comply with local noise expectations and reduce neighborhood concerns.
Does installing multiple panels increase noise reduction?
Yes. Covering more of the fence perimeter with acoustic panels increases the overall effectiveness of the sound barrier and improves noise containment around the court.
Please click on the below link to see pics and info including a video on the aesthetics and performance of the screens.
The screens reduced 28dB of noise in our laboratory test and did the same in our field studies.
It is virtually maintenance free and should something get spilled on the screens a simple light pressure washing with mild detergent should take care of the problem.
The screens are designed to sustain hurricane force winds up to 180mph we recommend checking with your structural engineer on the sustainability of your fence. We do recommend rolling them up or taking it down.
We have been distributing this product for 4 months now but the Sport Sonic Guard has been around for more than 3 years and has been used in thousands of different applications where noise reduction was essential.
The Sonic Guard comes with a (1) year warranty. The screens should last 8 plus years and the noise reduction will continue for the life of the screens.
The 6’ x 8’ panel is $550 and you will need approximately 60 panels for an average tennis court / 4 pickleball courts: (360’) so the cost would be $33,000 but we are offering 10% off for the next 30 days. Just use coupon NoNoise10 when purchasing.
We can typically provide you with the screens within 35-40 days of placing the order.
