Perhaps you could try desensitising it first? In /etc/X11/xorg.conf,
modify:

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Synaptics Touchpad"

by inserting:

   Option "MinSpeed" "0.2"
   Option "MaxSpeed" "1.0"
   Option "AccelFactor" "0.0"

just before:

EndSection

The smaller the numbers, the quieter the beast.
