Simply, my idea is to add enchantments to tools to reduce sound they make. This would mainly apply to the pickaxe, shovel, axe, and, why not the hoe as well. It is commonly known using these tools can be heard from up to 16 blocks away, but with this enchantment of "silence" it would reduce the number of blocks another player can hear them. This idea is mainly for PvP, of any stealth-like gametype. Regardless "silence" would have three levels (silence III) reducing sound by fours blocks each level enchant. Ex. Silence I - heard from 12 away / Silence III - heard from 4 blocks away.
Minor
-Boots could also have a new enchant like "Quiet Step" with similar characteristics
-Helmet could have a new enchant that amplifies the sound in a 16 radius, or solely counter balances the boots and the tools
Lastly maybe a new effect to the player that just either makes his walking silent or they placing/destroying blocks/entities more silent(of course this could also be in a POTION form as well, perhaps with the ingredient of a feather seems respectable)
I find one problem with this. The fact that the name tag is visible from about that far away anyways. Sure you can sneak to reduce it but most people aren't going to continuously sneak while mining or whatever.
Also... it is kind of a niche enchantment isn't it? Something that is only useful for multiplayer, and only for certain servers? To me, that sounds like something that should be a plugin.

This is a good suggestion. I'd never use it, personally. Oh, and I might get annoyed by repeatedly getting this enchantment when I'm trying for others. But that's a problem with the random enchantment system. I still think the suggestion is good.

I think you are going to love my Survival Let's Play series on YouTube! It's called Spaceboot1's Garden. I make pretty things.
Yea, personally i would not mind if there were only an one level enchant or multiply level enchants for this enchantment. I just thought silent tools would be fun and useful in some circumstances in PvP maps. When invading houses,caves,or in a thin wall waiting to ambush someone could be extremely fun,(not to mention most people are crouched during or awaiting a sneak attack). Also the boots give you a chance to chase an unaware person down, having the opportunity to run full speed at them without them hearing a thing until the first swing is struck.
