I remember reading somewhere that instead of having the metal tab contact the end of the slot it travels in have the launcher contact the riser shelf before it gets to the end of its travel slot. I think I read this on trophy takers website not sure but if you email them and ask them i'm sure they would help you out lots. They have great customer service!!! I Agree with Muzzyman on this, I don't think that noise is much of a problem at all.
