There are no springs around the drum and no obvious provision for them. I thought those were intended to aid cooling, not for noise. I would think a spring would amplify noise, if anything.

Rebus, given you comment (above) you might find this interesting, drum perimeter springs to prevent or minimize squeaks/squeals caused by drum resonance. This page from the 1934 Service Letters and this feature was used in 1933 thru 1936 on the power-boosted mechanical brake Senior cars.
