Dear editor:

I read with dismay that pickleball is once again prohibited due to noise complaints (“Noise issues sideline pickleball again at Virgil courts,” Feb. 26). Sound barriers failed to resolve the issue.

A quick search on Amazon found quiet pickleballs that act in the same manner as the loud plastic ones, and quiet paddles as well.

Would this not allow players to enjoy the wonderful courts and placate the offended residents?

It may be that simple.
