How To Reduce Wind Noise In Motorcycle Helmet

Nobody likes riding there motorbike with a load of wind noise in there helmet!
Although this is inherit to motorcycle riding, there are some simple hacks that can substantially reduce wind noise and vibration.
From helmet wind curtains, to plugs and scarfs, everything will help!
Today i tested out two scarfs, and the effects of a windshield on my wife's Trident 660.
The results were very noticeable.
Please take a peek. I hope my findings also help you :D
To ensure real results, the mic is high sensitivity and was placed near my ear.

Amazing, never thought a scarf would give such a result. Great work.

[@John_Neves]

Thanks man 👌👍

[@al-habeeb9969]

Good one bro. Exactly the content I was looking for. I own a trident and the wind noise is too much sometimes. Keep posting bro 👍🏾👍🏾

[@John_Neves]

Nice! So glad this helps 👍💪

[@roywhittle8284]

Great video mate, I’m having the exact same problem with wind noise I’m going to try the scarf Great tip 👍👍

[@DimaGT]

Great job!

[@iamamritray1148]

Thanks for the tip brother! I was having the same problem with the increase in wind noise after installing the windscreen!

[@John_Neves]

My pleasure. Hope it helps 👍

The thing is a low sitting screens redirects the wind turbulence to your neck thus results in more wind noises.

[@gregflanagan3181]

Yes that man is 100 per cent correct I did it with a normal scarf tie the knot 40 years it worked for i still does nd better than ear plugs 2 use with scraf the correct amount nd correct n ear that you can hear the motor nd that allow yourself 2 hear horn clearly

[@abdulrahmanabdulla5250]

thanks a lot

[@Booki89]

Do you have a guide on how to wear the scarf as you have? I feel like mine will fall off while i ride

[@marcorosasnet]

Nice video. I believe that with or without scarf or similar, will be very difficult to talk on the phone. My helmet is a bell broozer, which has no protection for wind on the low front.

[@John_Neves]

Me and my wife use the midland intercoms on our trips, and they do fine. As long as your not going over the speed limit. 😜 But the scarf helps quite things down quite alot 👌

Some seem to forget a wind screen is not primarily to reduce wind noise in the helmet, but to reduce wind pushing against your head & more even your chest when riding at higher speeds. This does impact the comfort on long riders on more naked type bikes.

[@antonfelice5284]

The problem is the low sitting screens they redirects wind turbulence to your neck resulting in more wind noises.

[@Ridth-one]

Wow... Instead of thinking bigger higher windshield... A scarf can reduce the noise? No wonder i saw some riders use scarf which i thought as fashion. I need to try this!

[@John_Neves]

I never leave home without one 😁

[@dannyroosenboom3640]

this windshield does direct the wind direct towards your head n giving increased windnoise. without windshield more wind hits lower thus reducing noise

[@antonfelice5284]

The windshield creates turbulence, more turbulence equals more wind noise. The secret to minimize wind noise is to have a tall good windshields that has great aerodynamic.

[@sem_regras]

Muito bom!

[@John_Neves]

👍

[@aboodlikesit]

plus its good in dusty areas.

[@John_Neves]

That's for sure 👍😁

[@abhisheksindhwani1479]

think you’re starting to enjoy the trident!

[@John_Neves]

It's a great little bike 👍🙂

[@Steve.D]

Where was the microphone? Inside the helmet or outside?

[@John_Neves]

Hey there 👋 Inside for my vlogging setup 👍

[@sedababe]

Like the video thx... I hope you normally wear gloves and a jacket to protect yourself.. You do not want to hit the pavement without that protection :(

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

Ear plugs are all you need. Windscreens are awful things. They create extra turbulence around the head area. I haven't had a bike with a screen for over 13 years.

[@John_Neves]

Oh yeah. Totally agree. But if you do want a screen, this actually helps quite a bit 👍

[@SuperRider-RS]

I use nonoise earplugs only if i'm going on long rides but windscreen does contribute to deflect wind, then again the rider's height comes to play, if tall then yes extra turbulence.

[@John_Neves]

@@SuperRider-RS Have you tried a scarf?

[@SuperRider-RS]

@@John_Neves not yet, but my brother ordered this windjammers that fits at bottom of helmet, same as scarf you showcased, worth the try tbh

[@John_Neves]

@@SuperRider-RS Nice. Let me know how it goes ;)

[@TheJWC56RSA]

The absolute solution is not a screen, a scarf or earplugs... it is old age! Ask me, I know!! Throughout the last two years or so my helmet has gone awfully quiet!! (said with a tear in my eye). I miss the usual noise!! Regards....

[@John_Neves]

Oh my. Sorry to hear that 😬 I hope you're still riding though 👍

[@fuglbird]

I'm 66 and experience the opposite. Modern helmets are very noisy and I need earplugs now. I remember my old AGV helmet being much quieter back in 1978. I did not need earplugs then.

[@lokitomanny]

Honestly, everything was noisy, I couldn't hear any difference, get different helmet. That wind screen would help a little with wind fatigue but would have no effect in making the ride quieter.

[@slowandcurios]

Nice vid, but if you're riding in hot weather, it's actually better to have air travel inside the helmet, in fact i would suggest removing the chin curtain for a cooler head... Cheers

[@fuglbird]

I disagree 100 %. The manufacturers today are focusing too much on ventilation. That makes their helmets almost unbearable noisy. Try a 50 year old integral helmet - if you can find one.

[@damon1957ful]

Allways wear ear plugs, i ride a naked and no screen but with howard ear plugs and dont suffer wind noise, also some helmets are more prone than others for wind noise, for me i foung aria helment the worst and cayburg full face the best with shark a close scond, all ways make sure a good fit with minimal protusions like camras and vents
