Making sound on serving

Rules

Hannes Lemberg Asked 13 years ago

I read through ittf rules, but didnt find anything about making sound if performing serve.

For example can server yell like in tennis?
Hit leg to the floor to make sound?

Thanks.

I am not sure where it is covered now, but it would be under something like deliberately putting your opponent off.

That is right, you aren't allowed to make sounds that would put off your opponent.
