It doesn't take much tape, just enough so it does not show.
I put a glob of silicone under mine and it has stayed quiet ever since.

FWIW I use oil on the finish of mine to keep them cleaned up and from rusting. I use 90w gear oil and coat the frame and fenders heavily, then wipe off. Only thing I do for maintenance is to wiped the whole biked down occasionally with an oily rag. It coats the rust spots and keeps them from getting worse.
