+=head1 NAME
+
+Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitNoisyQuotes - Use C<q{}> or C<qq{}> instead of quotes for awkward-looking strings.
+
+=head1 AFFILIATION
+
+This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic> distribution.
+
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Don't use quotes for one or two-character strings of non-alphanumeric
+characters (i.e. noise). These tend to be hard to read. For
+legibility, use C<q{}> or a named value. However, braces,
+parentheses, and brackets tend do to look better in quotes, so those
+are allowed.
+
+ $str = join ',', @list; #not ok
+ $str = join ",", @list; #not ok
+ $str = join q{,}, @list; #better
+
+ $COMMA = q{,};
+ $str = join $COMMA, @list; #best
+
+ $lbrace = '('; #ok
+ $rbrace = ')'; #ok
+ print '(', @list, ')'; #ok
+
+
+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
