I was purposely avoiding this, so as not to get too complicated, but since you brought it up....
Dampeners do change the feel, but it has a lot to do with changing the sound. Our sense of sound is tied to our sense of touch (just like taste and smell). So, when we hear the racquet vibrate, our brains tell our hands to feel it vibrate.
