What makes 'silent' topre silent/slightly less noisy?

A while ago I remember seeing a number of pictures that detailed the different between regular and silent topre switches.

I remember seeing them on GH, but I assume that they were only linked there. Does anyone know where I can find them?

Thanks,

Jim.

It is a foam o-ring. I can take pictures if you need.

Thanks for the offer fossala, I wouldn't want you taking apart your s-type just for the sake of it though. Isn't it a silicone o-ring? Does it just sit on top of the plunger?
