How noisy is a pool table?

[Sonny Qc]

I'm affraid lock down will make a comeback again this winter where I live.
Already got a ''Bar'' at home.

Lookin' to add a pool table.

But I live in a condo,
Got the feeling a pool table can be noisy AF.
If yes,
anything I can do to make it less noisy?
(huge ''rubber carpet''?)

Don't want to piss my neighbor off at night when playing with a few drunk friends.

Not as noisy as you and your drunk friends will be guaranteed.

Yeah, this.
Unless you hang out with a buncha mutes or something.

 

[GoodBadHBK]

Not as noisy as you and your cousin will be guaranteed.

FTFY

If you bang on the pool table then it could get noisy, but then you could play around with some balls while banging and it won't be weird

 

[Zinger]

It's only noisy when you fuck a woman on it.

Nah, we are pretty chill tbh.
Never had a complaint for noise, and they come at my home pretty often.

So if he fucks a man on it, it wont make any noise?

Breaking is the loud part. It is a loud cracking sound, and not a low gutteral sound. Being high in Hz means it doesn't penetrate walls easily.

If worried a simple sound absorbing panel will suffice.

How much fucking do you plan on doing with your friends?

I think it will be pretty loud. I've lived in apartments and condos before and when it's quiet at night i could hear the people above me walking around, doing dishes, opening and closing doors, flushing the toilets, etc.

I'm positive I could hear pool balls clacking together if they had a pool table.

Would probably only be an issue for the probe below you, unless someone's bedroom is right next to your pool room.

You could give yourself a curfew for pool, or ask your neighbors if they'd mind.

This is why it's good to live in retirement communities if it's allowed. They can't hear shit.

Get sound insulated windows and ceiling helps a lot

 

[Tone C]

Surely it depends how deep it is and how much jumping in you do ?

 

[Otto!]

Replace all balls with apples and oranges and you’ll be fine.

But they often run the TV loud

Just get a ping pong table and then you can play that and beer pong. Much quieter than the pool balls smashing into each other.

 

[Noveltymortar]

Just wrap the balls in colored socks.

You just described my winter wardrobe

What is the layout of the building? If you’ve only got neighbors below you, put down a foam mat with a rug over it. That will insulate sound in general, and severely deaden the sounds of you circling the table and dropping stuff. Impact on the floor will upset downstairs neighbors more than the sound of the game itself.

If you’re in a building with neighbors all around, it’s probably a bad idea to put the table in a room that shares a wall with another unit.
