After looking at Webster's dictionary, both Damper and Dampener are nouns. They both mean basically the same thing, something that damps or depresses. Damper is the only one that mentions a moveable plate for regulating draft in a ventilation system.
Dampen, which is a verb as is damp, can also refer to making something moist, but it also means to dull or deaden. So it looks like they are interchangeable. I stand somewhat corrected.
"A damper is a noun or object, dampener is the verb or action. A vibration damper is used as a dampener for vibrations."
True, though that "Dampener" can go either way (noun/verb) depending on how you use it in a sentence it, but it's often used as a Verb (action) for the word Damper.
For the record, I wasn't correcting any one person. Just showing how interesting it is for some to argue about what is essentially the same word.

OK, Class, please study this. There "could" be a test next week.
