Any ideas on how to make this more quite? I tried heat shrink tube, but then the valve doesnt fit anymore.

Cut a small piece of electrical tape, then cut a small slit (just big enough for the valve to pass through it) and stick it there. This is the method I’m using on my carbon wheels where the nut is a no-no.
Use a sticker
I deflated and removed the tube and wrapped the stem with electrical tape. That worked. I like the suggestion from Rakotg666; seems like that ought to be an even easier fix.
Google “presta valve sticker”.
I wrap thin elastic band around the valve.
The old plastic drink straws work well, cut to size are be pretty much invisible
Buy a nut for the valve.
Some valve extenders come with a small rubber O ring that slips over and silences the stem. Plenty of suggestions in this thread
Sorry never saw a threadless one
Crazy how it makes bells sounds as you play with it, maybe you need a whole new wheel at that point. 👀
Heat shrink tubes for electric wire just used the same on my threaded valve stems to blend them into my black rims nice thing is sharp stanley n steady hand its easily removed
