We stayed out there from time from after school until Mom would scream to come home for dinner. Kids played basketball, football, frisbee, American baseball (no bat, we threw a tennis ball off front porch curb) out front of the house, on the street...lots of noise in the neighbourhood. Should have seen when we played hide and seek, we'd be on ppl's porchs, behind cars, up the "walkway" between houses which led to backyard, etc.

With ppl having their windows and doors closed and the air conditioning and sealed houses and triple paned glass windows, I doubt you'd hear much.


If it's light out, kids should get out and play. Ppl need to chill out about what constitutes noise. I used to have a playhouse in the backyard for my kids and the old hag neighbour used to complain when they were out there playing...it was still daytime. Told her it's __o'clock, too bad. Kids were actually a lot quieter than when her pot smoking adult kid and her were screaming when they fought.

OP asked about court...we're now off topic discussing what ppl can do on their property. Like I said noise to each person is relative.
