T&T: anchor chain rattle

The chain rattles. Specifically, just aft of the anchor locker is a 50
gallon water tank. The rattle of chain reverberating through the tank seems
to magnify the sound. 

I can put a hose into the chain locker and the rinse water does go under the
water tank and thru the bilge into that forward compartment with the bilge
pump. 

Of course access is miserable to the chain locker (a 10" square panel on the
forward bulkhead of the stateroom) -- any ideas on abating the rattle?

J (and Frank) ashore for the doctor visits routine. Ugh.
