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!

You could just do nothing and enjoy the high quality sound reproduction you already have.
Wasn't there a reviewer many years ago who wrote cartridge reviews based on the sound he heard when tapping on the tonearm resting on a platter?
