A chic Hampshire Tennis Club will be issued by a city council a noise ban after neighbors complained about the 'shot' sound of balls and 'constant' curses of members.
Winchester -Racquets and Fitness Club have formally investigated the sounds that players make on their new Padel courts.
Surrounded by properties that have more than £ 1 million more than £ 1 million, the club has now informed the members that he expects an order to be spent the noise reduction before the end of the month.
The most important complaints about the sound of the neighbors of the club were 'aggressive and hard shots' and the sound of the padel balls that touched the glass panels of the courts and chain-link fences.
Padel, which is considered one of the fastest growing sports in the world, is different from tennis, because the rackets used are solid without strings, which means that a very loud sound can be made when beating the ball.
Given the thriving popularity of the sport, the Winchester Club tried to increase its number of Padel courts last year, but this became with strict opposition from Buren.
The injured neighbors then submitted their complaints to the Winchester city council, who sent an environmental protection officer in the last number of weeks to perform a sound rating at the club.
After the officer's assessment, the club issued an update to members in which he stated that it expected to receive an official order of the noise that would let them go for six months to meet new sound limits.

The assessment of the council officer did not register a bad language, but discovered three main sources of noise from the padel rights with regard to balance, glass panel effects and the sound of ball striking chain screens.
The club added that it “had set up a working group to look at all available information urgently to make proposals about how we should reduce the sound to meet the order.”
Despite the approaching noise ban, the club likes to continue to plans to increase the number of padel -courts, while at the same time working on 'promoting harmonious relationships with our neighbors'.
Spokeswoman for the Winchester City Council city council, who responded to the expected order of the club, said: 'After a few recent noise complaints from Buren who live close to Winchester Racquets and Fitness (WRF), we visited the site to the noise Assessing and working closely with WRF to try to find a positive solution for all involved '.
John Colley is one of the dissatisfied neighbors whose property backs on the Padel courts of the club.
Said there were never noise problems when the club only had tennis courts, the 53-year-old added that the noise is 'constant, all day'.
'The actual sound of the padel racket is incredibly loud … don't resist all the shouting and cursing.
'I'm in the garden with my children who listen to people.
“There are boys clatter, you have to go inside and close the windows, but sometimes you can still hear them,” he said.

Peter and Liz Russell live along a separate road, with their house just 11 ft from two tennis courts- the noise that they actually like 'pretty nice' to hear.
After lived at the building for 40 years, they enjoyed a good relationship with the club that previously removed floodplains from the courts that their home goes back to.
As soon as the expansion plans for extra padel courts were revealed, the couple decided that they had to take action.
Russell, a retired company director, stated: “I said I would take it until the Supreme Court. Life would not be acceptable in this house '.
He also argued that extra courts would lead to the value of his house falling and any sense of relaxation 'of' shot 'would ruin as sounds.
Similarly, Peter Chilvers and the garden of his wife are back to the Padel rights benches, where the couple have to protect himself against the noise from the inside.
“I think it's a joke,” said the 81-year-old.
'The tennis club has been there for a long time. It used to be a good neighbor, but they are extensive and extensive.
'Sometimes you may get a noisy coach, but that was all part.
“Padel maybe a good thing for the world, but it's not good for neighbors.”
