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.

Hi Hannes,

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

Hitting the Ceiling

When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.

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