No.

The noise is caused by the clearances between the clutch plate tangs and the basket. The more the clutch gets used, the wider the clearances become, the louder the noise gets. Replacing the basket and plates quietens the noise for a while but is always comes back.

Aluminium plates with an aluminium basket and the standard insulated cover is probably the best you'll get.
