Plastic "noise" cover

Does removing that plastic sound deadener on the drivers side of the block make the engine noticeably louder? Mine is warped and if I don't need it I would rather cut it out while the head is off.

I have wondered the same thing. I removed mine this weekend so I will know here in a day or two if it is alot louder.
