Metal Latch Bolt colliding with Metal Strike Plate producing loud noise

In our office, the entrance door is equipped with a k2 door closer. The problem is that when the door closes, it makes a very loud clicking noise. I believe this is the result of the latch bolt hitting the metal strike plate, which I think causes the noise. It doesn't have anything to do with latch or swing speed, since the screws in the door closer body are turned fully clockwise. The sound seems to be caused by the metal. A couple of ideas I had were attaching felt pads to the strike plate edge. I could also try weatherstripping or attaching adhesives. Any other ideas are very welcome. This would likely involve reducing the sound of metal.
