Need Help for (biking) Wind Noise

[Bikerzz68]

Does anyone in the forum have experience with something I can attach to my helmet to make wind noise less?

i dont think you can get a helmet attatchment. how about a scullcap that extends to the ears like the one below

Use a buff or a skull cap. I use a buff most of year and a skull cap during the colder winter months. Some skull caps have perforations for the ears to allow sound through but these tend to whistle, so I just buy ones without the perforations.

Google cat ears in cycling but they look naff

Buff....

 

[mick1836]

Is it the helmet that causes wind noise or its securing straps?

If you don't wear a helmet the wind noise isn't as bad. I wear a merino buff.

^^^^ or

Keeps the top of your head ventilated and your mouth free from soggy material on a windy day...makes your helmet tight though ...I like to buff though...plenty of fun to be had in scaring grannies...

Was anyone else hoping they would find a cure to the other type of wind noise some times made while biking?



I had beans last night...

I am trying some cat ears at the moment, as anything above 10 mph results in me only hearing a high whistle (might as well put earphones in for all I can hear).
To date (and I've only had them fitted a week), they've done nothing to improve the situation. But all my rides have been in higher than normal winds.

Either don't wear a helmet or get your straps as tight as you can without strangling.

flappy straps add resistance and are noisy.

must admit @confusedcyclist i understand your plight totally

 

[markharry66]

Not sure how far you want to go there used to be something called e.a.r the are foam plugs you can put in your ear to stop noise or at least reduce them.
Having worked in the construction industry in the past they were supplied as part of ppe kit.
