I think the Hyde helps with the pipe noise. I let a guy try my bike a couple weeks ago, and I couldn't hear it at all after he was down the trail for 30 s. I have the stock GG OEM silencer, which is reasonably quiet. Two stroke sound is lost in the woods a lot faster than a four stroke. I just stay off the gas if I'm in a sensitive area in sight of houses, its quieter than you think.

My bike has 200 miles on it, so that may be a little premature, but I'm just thinking.
I used to drive a drag race car. Some tracks required mufflers to appease local home owners. The 1st time guys could hear the mechanical noises made by their engines and chassis it usually scared the crap out of them. Race engines have bigger clearances and therefore rattle like a worn out cotton gin.

i have read somewhere that it is possible that you can wrap some old inner tube around the expansion chamber, wich i did, but i can't really tell how much difference there is.i never got it tested for DB
I had a KX250 that I experimented on as you describe. I had an Answer sneaker silencer on it which was a quiet silencer. I had heard of people wrapping the fat part of the pipe with inner tube and although they reported an improvement in sound output they said they had a persistent rubber smell that was annoying. I wrapped the pipe first with that fiberglass heat wrap that drag racers use. Then I wrapped it with inner tube. I didn't notice any smell and the bike was REALLY quiet. Quietest bike I ever had. The only problem was that it caused the pipe to rust really badly underneath all that wrapping.

You make the call, how bad do you want it to be that quiet?
