Some kids kicking a ball about in the street, whacking it off walls. Making a hell of a racket.
These new footballs must be designed to be louder to either A) let the kids show off that they're actually out playing football; or B) attract attention towards the ball as clever advertising on behalf of the manufacturer.

When I was a kid blasting balls off the side of people's houses they were never this loud.

You must just have an effeminate kick.
 
It's called getting older and finding the same things you didn't think were annoying anyone as a youngster were just that.

Just to ramp this up a little, my next door neighbour's son has recently started practicing basketball where (of course) instead of the ball hitting the goal of someone's garage door (or whatever) once in a while it's hitting the ground every few seconds.

I feel like exterminating the brat.
 
A rare site these days
Jumpers for goalposts
My mate aways though the ball had a mic in on the telly the noise it made kicking it
 
Old casies used to soak up so much water they’d often be soggy so not so noisy when banged into a wall.

Pigs bladders were fairly quiet as well.

Shite paper thin house you must have.

Probably making a distraction noise so he can’t hear his sister getting banged by a middle aged westerner.
