As I understand it, the reason for the steel sound plate is to reduce the supercharger whine in the cabin. It's that simple. I suppose the engineers felt like ZL1 owners wanted more refinement. ...

That's another reason I prefer the ACS Composite molded rock guards. I've had them on both my 1LE and now my ZL1. Not sure about the Rockblokz on a ZL1.
