If the downspout is on the back of the house, angle it, to make the leaning
tower of townspout, then the water will roll down the side instead of
dripping vertical.

Sponge inside the spout, or maybe wrap the 90 degree turn in something
padded, to soak up the impact. Duct tape, pipe wrap, whatever.
