One thing I have heard of is coating the skidplate with Rhino-liner (truck box liner).

The noises u hear are from the engine noises'bouncing' off ur skidplate and back up into ur hemet.
I think the only thing that will reduice the noise you hearis to drill some holes in the plate (letting the sound out) , or bond some thin rubber onto the inner surface between the motor and the plate to absorb the noise.
Unless the mounts u have installed are not quite tight and are vibrating.

Try the stick on sound deadener for cars, one brand is dynomat I think. Might find it at a custom car or stereo shop. Because my stock plate is so cheesy and rocks off the front tire pound dents in it I cut a piece out of a 45gallon plastic drum, bent it to shape with a hairdryer and bolted it to my plate. I still won't pound it off rocks or logs but it's stronger, quieter, and if I'd made it a little longer it would cover a few more protrusions underneath allowing the bike to slide over stuff easier. Let me know if you want pics.
