Default pole tips for rollerskiing: is there a quiet alternative?

I just tried rollerskiing for the first time and found myself (and my
fellow park-goers) wincing at the sound of my metal pole tips on the
pavement. I did my best to put down as lightly as possible but I got
that nails on the chalkboard sound anyway. Is there any workable
alternative to metal tips? Would a rubber tip cover get any sort of
grip on pavement?
