There are tap washers available from any large hardware store that are designed to minimise water hammer. Instead of being a flat round disc they are C-shaped in section view. Users must also learn to turn off the taps very gently to avoid crushing them against the seat. I have used these myself, and they had a definite beneficial effect though they aren’t as good as firmly restraining the vibrating pipes with pipe saddles.
