Tennis and golf seem so much different than almost all other sports. Baseball is the most intense with a pitcher throwing a ball towards you at over 100mph. NFL quarterbacks have to go to a silent count to snap the ball because they can’t hear the call. Basketball, Soccer (futball), Rugby, NFL, hockey, etc… all allow as much noise as you can make. Most teams will also encourage noise when the opponent has the ball. Why is tennis and golf an outlier?

Probably because they didn’t really start as spectator sports, or if there were spectators it wasn’t a loud environment. When you have team sports it’s normally noisy anyway because you have team members shouting at each other. Golf and tennis not so much.
