If you are closing the slider from inside, a second handle mounted near the
rear of the door makes it unnecessary to slam it.  You can then use the
extra handle to pull the rear shut much more quietly rather than the usual
momentum/slam that wakes everyone nearby.   Outside, same... just push the
rear shut..
   I used a drawer handle and screwed it onto the door just below the window

I too did the HDPE tape in both of the tracks, top and bottom and on both
sides of each track.
The improvement was very noticeable! Smoother and quieter.
Now I will be looking into this rubber bumpstop!
Thanks all
