I imagined a basket lined with a blanket and you placing the baby in the basket to sleep...
Yep ziptie towel around the pole, don't forget to go down low enough to dampen the chains ring connector thing. Towel in the basket is good too. The only thing making noise will be your missed putts off the wall.
Here's what I came up with that's extremely quiet and very effective at catching anything you throw at it. Start at post #24 to get detailed instructions on making the "chain." Instead building a whole basket you could just find a cheap portable (Marketplace, Craigslist or eBay) in need of some TLC and replace the metal chain with my solution. If you found one that had chains that were rusted up and in rough shape, you could probably get a really good deal.
I don't have a basement so I have to practice outside and more times than not it's late at night. I never have to worry about disturbing anyone.
I second this idea - it is how I made the "chains" for my practice basket as it was nice and cheap.
Overall it catches pretty well with the only issues being that it will miss some cut throughs on hyzer putts and also a dead straight on the pole putt will hit the pole and come back out (not enough mass in the "chains"). Either way though - I know those 2 situations are putts where I hit my target - which is what matters for a practice basket.
