Tonearm microphonics

When I have the volume at my normal level & tap the arm (not whilst playing vinyl) it is slightly amplified... Is it possible to significantly reduce/eliminate this?

Current set up - Roksan Xerxes 20plus, Origin Live Encounter tonearm (thin cork ring at the base) with Lyra Skala.

Apologies if this is a stupid question!

There is nothing wrong. As long as you don't have any problem when you are playing a record,why would you worry about it?

I was just wondering if it's worth having the arm dampened...

I doubt that would change anything. If I tap on my SME arm I can hear a light sound. If you tap on the plinth and you don't hear anything then you should be fine!
