On the other hand a heavier cover or one that has more mass can also resonate more with more mass being set into motion, no?
This also means more stored energy, this stored energy has to be released on top of incoming AC.
I'm not sure that a relative small increase in mass equals vibration control. I would argue that there is just more to vibrate or it could just vibrate more or at a different frequency.
Seems to me that you'd want low mass that is securely fastened to the outlet box which in turn should be securely fastened to the wall stud. Less mass to resonate etc....
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
