[+] might I also suggest an "oof" component if the incoming velocity is greater than the outgoing. |

I don't like anything that might encourage tennis players to make even more of the ridiculous sounds that they already appear to deem necessary. |
|
| |
I'm generally in favor of meaningful measurements, so to get a +, I'll need to know distance from the player at which the dB (SPL?) measurement is taken. Usual standard is 1 meter. |

I propose classical music being played in time with the audience turning their heads back and forth, following the plays. This could drown out the grunts and inspire the players. Grunting is so..........gross. |
|

[outloud] - yes, a much better idea - a classical orchestra or perhaps a jazz quartet, improvising music to accompany the play, and of course, amplified sufficiently to drown out the grunting. |
|
| |
Ultimately, the score of the tennis match being played would become of lesser importance than the critics' assessment of the quality of music the players were able to produce. |
|
| |
A parabolic microphone aimed at the players could broadcast all grunts at a uniformly loud level. Tennis is about hitting the ball and running back and forth, not gruntation ability. Such a system would level the playing field as regards grunts. |
|
| |
[bungston], if leveling the grunting field is the idea, the solution is to use professional off-court grunters who can provide synchronized grunting services for silent players. |

[outloud] Classical music + grunting = Glen Gould,no? |
