It was usually concrete, as that’s what most outdoor courts are made of in the States. That’s kinda the whole point, i.e. not wooden floors.
That’s not correct about the NBA-level forces, as occasionally playing indoors instantly produced that range of squeaking sounds. Little kids produced those sounds as well. It’s just the dynamic of sneakers upon wood, essentially.
