In the US there's this stuff called PlastiDip.  One can find it at
hardware stores.  It's "liquid plastic" intended to be used to coat the
handles of pliers and things like that.  It would be tough to hold the
camera bag in the right position while the stuff dries, but dipping the
jangly zipper pulls in it would give them a "sound-proof" plastic
coating similar to that on the handles of a pair of electrical pliers.

If you can find one of the right size, putting a big plastic pop rivet
through the hole of the zipper pull might help, too.

Also take a look at the little "string things" that the "adventure
crowd" (biking, climbing,  camping, hunting, etc.) put around theirs. 
It's a little piece of "parachute" cord that goes though the holes at
each end of the pull tab, and crosses over itself.  Forms a little cord
"bumper" around the zipper pull.
