I realize what I'm asking has limits but are there options reduce the sounds coming from the muffler or the motor on my Kymco.  Fun machine to ride off road.

Any suggestions to Install an aftermarket muffler silencer?

Aftermarket mufflers are usually louder - which is their main attraction for most people. More noise = "more power!"
An exhaust which quiets the engine will likely reduce its performance.
