This could be answer to outside play noise.
Enjoy playing with Librarian balls, and they completely solve the noise problem. Would better if they were a darker richer color for visibility.

GREAT QUIET PICKLEBALL FOR HOME PRACTICE.
I teach pickleball. I believe this is currently the best FOAM ball on the market. I believe foam balls are great for practice at home and enable you to practice your shots off garage walls or just tapping in your living room without driving spouses or pets crazy with the sound.

Can be fun, quiet, but bounce height is too high
Let's face it, a foam ball will not be the same as a plastic ball, so I am not expecting it to be. It won't be a replacement for a traditional pickleball, but it has its purpose and it can be fun. Pros: - It is really quiet enough for practicing against the walls in the house, or for playing at a neighbourhood court where noise is a concern. - It is actually quite fun playing with it, due to the amount of spin you can put on the ball, and the soft feel upon impact. There is no harsh feeling upon contact, and no worries of injuries. Cons: - It is too bouncy, and the bounce height is significantly higher than a traditional USAP approved pickleball. I tested dropping the Gamma Librarian alongside a Franklin X-26, Franklin X-40, and a Selkirk ProS1, on a hard floor at home, as well as on a proper outdoor pickleball court. In all cases, the Gamma ball bounced noticeably higher than the other balls. (i.e. 2-5 inches difference). - This means that Gamma marketing the ball as having a "TRUE BOUNCE LIKE A NORMAL PICKLEBALL" is not true. - While it is actually somewhat fun to play with, the bounce is way too high for a proper gameplay where good drops and dinks would still bounce very high, and end up in speed-ups and drives. - Since the bounce is not correct, then it is not worth the price. If the bounce of the ball can be reduced to truely match that of a normal pickleball (and maybe to increase the weight a little), I think it would be great fun, and I would buy it again!

Too quiet and needs more markings.
I was able to play with this ball and was impressed and afraid. I felt like turning around in a parking lot and finding myself in the path of a Tesla. I do wish there were more markings - not to emulate a regular ball, but to see the spin.

Librarian ball
Ok for practice, drilling. Manage a 9 court indoor facility in Orlando, have let many types of leveled players use them, same answer from all.

Purchase quantity frustration
I keep getting discount savings offering emails, but when I go onto the web site to try & buy librarian quiet pickleballs in either of the smaller quantities they always show sold out. Very frustrating.

GO Librarians
Librarians are fun to play with and excellent for practice against the garage door and not bother the neighbors. They are more bouncier than normal pickleballs and take some getting used to. They are fun to play with and very quiet.

Fabulous quiet pickleballs
I’m honestly amazed at how comparable these quiet foam balls are to plastic pickleballs. I’m fortunate enough to be able to play where noise isn’t a problem but I’m interested in new products. These balls are a near perfect answer to the noise problem in some neighborhoods. They are great for rec play. I believe they will have a longer life than the regular balls. The only issue with them is they tend to pick up debris like hair and leaf bits. But I wouldn’t hesitate to toss them in the washing machine.

I was surprised how well they play
The balls play well, they are a little more forgiving than a pickleball, more like a tennis ball, but if my choice is to not play at all due to noise regulation, or play with this ball, I would highly recommend it. Also for practicing inside a house, no noise, no concern about damage or marking the walls.

USE ONLY IN AN EMERGENCY!
Use only in an emergency! Ball sways in the air, bounces weird. If you are under a low noise mandate give it a try. Otherwise not worth trying them out.

No pain when getting hit with it.
Worked great indoors, people didn't know what to do with out the noise. Outdoors with a little wind and no wind protection, to light. Is they a way to add a plastic or metal ball to the center, to add weight ?? Great ball for older players, indoors !! I didn't try it outside, with wind protection yet. I try it out next week, Thank You.

Quiet ball fail
Doesn't fly or bounce like a pickleball at all. Quiet, though.

It sure is quiet
Got exactly what I was expecting and with a fast delivery. I can now easily run drills against the wall in my apartment without driving my neighbors crazy. Also doubles as a pretty sweet stress ball.
