I'll be completely honest.. I do not think that anyone will directly help you with that here - perhaps at BYOAC, but here anything to do with coin functions being modified, delayed or adjusted I think falls under the whole 'coin mech' discussion, regardless of intent (Rule #9). Such adjustments you are asking about could be used to facilitate those things.
I am not the final say at all - just trying to advise.
Besides, back in the heyday's of arcades in the 80's you likely did not hear the coins drop anyway. Either the arcade had music blaring, games nearby drowning out all the small sounds, or the hopper was pretty full and there was insufficient area for the coin to drop against the coin box. Despite that, I can understand the desire to have it this additional 'effect', though.
