Hi; yes I did.

I got rid of about 95% of the noise.

I removed the whole unit (rather than just the lens which as far as I could tell is not removable) as in Thom's photo above. I just used a kitchen knife to pry it out. There are no wires or connections to worry about.

I then used some speaker foam I happened to have lying around which is convenient as it is sticky back. I used this to pad where the unit clips in. This mostly fixed the problem.

The other 5% I think is actually coming from the lens part and whilst this is now only a very minor and occasional irritation I do intend to take the whole unit and go around the underside of the lens with superglue.

Hope that ramble above helped and if you have any questions I'll try to answer them.

When I get round to taking it off again I'll add some pictures.
