Buffer Spring Noise > AR Discussions

I shot a friend's AR yesterday and was reminded how annoying the spring sounds right next to my head. Does anyone make a coated one or something to that effect so to minimize the sound? This sounds trivial but it just gets on my nerves.

Fill the buffer tube with some quick-crete, add water, let dry overnight

- no more buffer noise.

Like the one Bushmaster markets? I thought that there was still a need to use a spring with that thing.
