Just pull it off. If you are really that worried about noise, drive around with the entire cover off and see if it's that much louder. I can't even tell the difference.
You could put some kind of heat resistant foam there. I woudn't put styrofoam there because it could melt or some other foam could catch on fire. Just take it off and be done with it.
