Kublai Kalm...

Haven't posted for a few weeks as things seem to be very quiet on the blogging front generally - must be the summer hols. But can anyone enlighten me about the following please?
When putting my new 'Accent' wooden bed together the first instruction was 'Place dome of silence onto legs, using a hammer.' A 'dome of silence' is apparently a thing like a big drawing pin with a blobby plastic head. As instructed I bashed a 'dome of silence' onto each leg end using a hammer. But what are these domes of silence supposed to do? And how do they work? What's the point of them? And what would happen if you didn't attach them? Would you have a noisy bed?
This is not, I think, a case of 'Manual English' as the text reads as perfectly normal English. Can anyone explain?
