The Quiet Play Sound Difference

 Don't Believe Us? Hear it For Yourself!

                  This data is from a marine hull laminate.

Quiet Play Paddles is dedicated to creating the highest quality paddles on the market. Using advanced aerospace materials, we’ve engineered paddles that are not only lightweight and durable but also remarkably quiet. Through the use of proven sound-damping technologies, derived from various laminate applications, we’ve developed paddles that stand apart in both performance and noise reduction. Our multiple patents for sound innovation underscore our commitment to excellence.

With over 80 years of combined experience in building and designing laminates for the transportation, aerospace, and marine industries, we bring unparalleled expertise to every paddle we create.

Test Results from Pickleball Sound Mitigation

We had Bob Unitech, the founder of Pickleball Sound Mitigation, analyze our paddles. Bob noted that Quiet Play demonstrated significant improvements in damping waveforms, specifically in sound level over time. The sound emitted by the Quiet Play paddle was about half as loud as the control paddles currently available on the market.

In terms of frequency, the control paddles tend to peak around 1200 Hz, while Quiet Play effectively reduces sound energy, moving it down by a full octave. The Quiet Play paddle exhibits almost no tone at 1000 Hz, resulting in a quieter, more subdued sound. This shift in sound frequency leads to a "thud" rather than the traditional "pop" heard with standard paddles, providing a quieter, more controlled playing experience.

*dB matters but more import is HZ (the frequency). Time under the curve matters for sound travel-Quiet Play sound stops after 3 milliseconds.
