Will the stiff spring/ping noise on my keyboard go away overtime?

If the sound you are referring to is really spring ping then that does not normally just go away. I have lubed all my switches to eliminate that on my keyboards. See the link in my signature. Adding some kind of dampening material (foam pad, a sheet of felt, ect) inside the case under the PCB can help to make the ping less noticeable by eliminating the natural reverb of the case and plate.
If you are referring to the bottom out noise (switch stem hitting the bottom of the housing when fully pressed) then that also will never go away unless you dampen it some how. Either by getting a silenced switch(MX silent red, MX silent black, Zilents or Orange Healios), or adding O-rings. Or you can adjust your typing style to not bottom out.
