Damping. I think Dampening is when you add moisture.

Damping is a process that reduces the amplitude or oscillation of a vibrating system over time.

Dampening can mean to make something slightly wet, or lessen the intensity of something

Dampening is when Americans try English.

It's not damping at all, only a spring effect.
