I've added cable donuts, placed the splitters near the cable routing ends, and crossed the shifter cables under the bottom tube. I'm thinking of adding stick-on rubber pads on the frame tubes at the splitter points. Wonder if I missed something?
Rubber pads are the ticket. I use a short length of the left-over rubber strips that come in the packages of bike lights to make the clamps fit snugly around handlebars and seatposts. A drop of superglue and you can enjoy the silence.
