soundproofing chains

I was wondering if anyone had any advice about trying to make the chains on a basket quieter...... I love the clanging of the chains as I hit another putt.

However, I think I keep my little ones from napping sometimes due to the noise traveling thru the ventilation from my basement.

I am looking for something cheap and effective without it effecting the performance of the basket. I have heard of running yarn thru the chains....anyone got any ideas???????
