a rubber cover works great. Go to the plumbing section. It's called pipe insulation or something. Cost like $3 for like 10 feet.

actually.. that little strip will more help prevent scratches and not much of the vibrations you're gonna get....

i say stuff it with foam/pipe insulation material around the pipe.
