If the pins are plastic, which they probably are if stock Tak pins (c/b tusq or like that if a Japanese Tak), try wood ones for softer, more sound-absorbent string achoring...ebony would be harder, more durable, but you can get rosewood pins.
Or you could try lighter gauge B & G strings to yield a bit less volume on those 2 culprits.
