Live in a townhouse with shared walls. Had to make my sim as quiet as possible. Here's what worked:

Impact noise:

  1. ThunderMat under my hitting mat - huge difference
  2. Added rubber horse mat under everything
  3. Impact screen with proper slack (tight screens are louder)

Ball return:

  1. Built a fabric chute instead of hard tube
  2. Balls land on a towel in a bucket
  3. No more "thunk thunk thunk" sounds

Equipment noise:

  1. Projector in a foam-lined box (with ventilation!)
  2. PC in a closet with extension cables
  3. Soft-close for any cabinets

Result: Can hit balls at 10pm without complaints. Wife can watch TV in the next room without issues.
