[QUOTE="RichDoyle, post: 1402917, member: 84694"] Slow learner. I've had (along with a couple of other helmets) a HJC FS-10 for years. I've also been in the habit of wearing earplugs or earbuds most of the time when using any of them. Nevertheless, this is the quietest of the three. Recently I'd grown tired of dealing with constantly inserting and removing said ear-stuffing devices multiple times when running errands around town. So I embarked on getting this helmet where it would be OK without resorting to this exercise. First I fiddled with the speakers so they are now right against my ears. That helped, but regardless of windshield position I still had this obnoxious wind noise above about 50MPH - but only on the right side. Hmmm. It turned out that the face shield seal interface on the upper right had a small gap between the two. So I built up the seal a little thicker in that area with RTV. This has made a world of difference and makes it all tolerable. But now that this is improved I hear lower-level noise I never noticed before coming from below the helmet. It's engine, road, and some wind noise coming up from the bike itself. [/QUOTE]
