Joined the orange family 2 weeks ago, dropped my bike today

Title - i was climbing a small slope in traffic in the rain, the bike slid on the slope and fell slowly on it’s left side.
Im good, the boke left handle has a few scratches.

Now, i keep hearing a sound when i’m wearing the helmet - when the bike is stationary and i move it i only hear the sound of the petrol crashing in the tank.
Should i get it checked out in the service centre?

I only hear the sound at 1st or 2nd gear or at sudden bumps/brakes.

Should i be worried and more careful? This is my first bike - not very sure how i should be feeling about falls/drops.

Helmet recommendations for KTM 390 Adventure R

Just got my first ever bike.
Usage: Mostly city usage to begin with, i will need to get used to longer rides.
I will eventually want to venture into offroad trails (Since the bike is meant to perform for them) and longer trips (Bombay - Pune)

From what i checked online, LS2 Pioneer 2 seems to be the top recommendation in terms of safety, overall performance and aesthetics with the bike.

Axor x cross also came up a few times, but supposedly a cheaper variant of the pioneer 2.

Also saw a few road specific helmets - ls2 stream 2, storm 2, mt thunder 4.

I need recommendations - some other helmet i haven’t looked at yet?
Also, when i do finally decide, should i buy the helmet off of amazon/flipkart or is there a bike accessories site everyone uses, or should i find a store around the city?(Pune)

Thanks for the advice in advance!
