I always remove the cover completly when playing

Seems that im my thinkng the cover will just vibrate adding to the confusion.

I did a test with a db meter and played a CD fairly loud with the DB meter sitting on the platter.

It was a higher DB with the cover on, than with it off.

the cover acts like a drum and amplifys the noise and does not reduce outside noises.

I would imagine it would certainly amplify inside turntable noises.

Thus I always remove the cover. also while leveling the turntable the weight of the over will throw the leveling off. So when leveling you have to decide with or without cover.

I always return the cover when not in use to keep dust out.
