My boat has pretty bad chine slap as well. Fortunately, it's fairly rare that we're anchored somewhere with enough chop to make it bad (6 inches or so and it starts to get loud) and also have someone trying to sleep in the forward cabin. We can hear it in the aft cabin (particularly if the door is open), but it's not enough to intrude on sleeping back there.
For the most part, it's the price you pay for having a boat that can plane (although some designs are louder than others).
