Default Rubber Buffer

My neighbour has a metal gate hinged on my external wall. When the
gate is opened it "bangs" on to my wall - and reverberates through my
room.


I want to fasten a rubber buffer/stopper to the wall at the point
where the opening gate strikes it. The problem is that the "strike
point" varies as the contact with the wall is made by a sliding latch
on the gate.


I have tried a rubber door stopper and it is perfect (if the latch
hits it) - except that it is too small.


Ideally I want a piece of rubber 1x1x3 inches.


Any ideas where to get same or similar.


Mount a standard door buffer on a block of wood such that the buffer works
on the gate frame.
