OnIy recently I started wearing a neck collar, which cost about $11 from a pharmacy, sold as a 'cervical collar'. This is the cheap fix to killing helmet wind noise, and I wish I had discovered it years ago. Not only does the reduction of wind noise make riding more enjoyable, but it's warm in winter. I shall wait another 6 months before I get to test it in summer. I still wear custom molded earplugs of course, so the combination of year plugs & neck collar work really well. Not long ago I was contemplating buying a new Nolan helmet with the wind 'skirt', but the neck collar was cheap and effective.
Great, Ive just ordered one! I wear plugs and have a top rated quiet noise helmet but it's still bad. I also have tinnitus. Love riding but hate the noise. Thanks for the option idea.
You did help me make the decision to purchase the NOJ Quiet Rider. The big plus for me is that the Quiet Rider stops the wind from entering the helmet. I have asthma and that feature alone is worth it. Thanks for the video!
Why can't these helmet manufacturers make a neck roll that pumps up with air to fit around your neck once the helmet is put on your head. Wind buffering makes riding so miserable.
My scorpion EXO 1400 AIR - has air pump but mostly expands around the cheek areas, not the lower neck where the winds sucks up. Stops some noise but not enough.
Noise reduction tip - think aerodynamics. The less the wind hits on the helmet, the less noise; helmet exterior, very important. Also, line the inside of the helmet with thin layer of foam between the pads and shell.
I think it’s the angle of the windscreen. Try removing it and go riding. I came from a naked bike no windscreen to a adv with an adjustable windscreen. As soon as I start riding I could tell the helmet was sounding much louder. I put the screen all the way down and wind hit my chest like on a Naked but helmet noise improved a lot
I bought a shoei thinking well if I spend the money on a good helmet I won't have that problem. But I think it's worse than my $180 ls2. I also bought that same exact neck seal thing you have, and it won't fit my shoei. I'm currently trying to customize the padding around my neck because I don't want to spend 50 or 60 bucks on thicker padding, not knowing if it will solve the problem. I'd love to hear any solutions out there for this.
I've have/had 2 LS2 carbon explorers, 12k miles. Both have problems with the sun shade mechanism failure. Only issue I have with my new bmw is wind noise. Aside from the company refusing to honor the warranty for the sun shade, best helmet I've used in 50+ years. I got to test a new Shoei neotec 2 helmet today, which I had hoped would resolve the noise issue. NOPE! Much worse. Visor whistling, more noise with it up then closed. Too many reflections in the clear visor. The padding pushed terribly against my sun glasses. I give it a 10 for the plush interior however. The sun shade works flawlessly. I was really looking forward to being able to get a drink without removing the helmet. IMO, the LS2 is by far, the much quieter helmet. I'm waiting on a pair of Bose noise canceling ear buds from China. Last hope to get this managed a tad better.
Was looking for a solution. I have very bad tinnitus. I read that wearing a scarf does help. Tried it. And it's true, helped a lot. I wear it the "French" mode. I am French-Canadian. Find centre of scarf and make a lop. Put scarf around you neck with loop front and central. Pass both loose ends in the loop and pull right. Separate both loose ends and take left one and tuck left side back of you neck and squeezed between neck and scarf. Do the same for the right side. Note: scarf is worn tight to your neck. Try it. Hope it works well for you as it did for me.
I use a purple panda mic with a dead cat wind killer and chin curtain but I tuck my microphone under my cheek pad nearest to my mouth. And audio comes out pretty decent
Have you tried placing the mic behind the cheek pads? I saw other vloggers do it that way. I saw one place it inside the cheek pads, theres no wind noise but its a little muffled..
@@dongyamotovlog8505 Just got the Shoei yesterday, still waiting on my parts to build the helmet. I'm guessing this weekend I'll be able to get out on the bike.
Closed my vents but not a bad idea, I think with it up front you pick up to much breathing. I'm going to try to move mine to the side, maybe in the cheek pads.

I don't ride enough anymore to worry too much about the perfect helmet. I just wear the 4x and am comfortable. I bought a Bluetooth mic and speakers to go in it to work with my phone. I have a chin strap mount for my GoPro that fits well. I will have to check it to see if it is too noisy from the wind but I like a breeze in my helmet. I usually pop the bottom of the visor to get more air running through it.

Keep the tank full and with stabilizer when storing
Thank you, appreciate it. I really hate wind noise!
No problem, it didn't solve it but made it much better.

Thanks for the input 🙂
Have you tried placing the mic behind the cheek pads? I saw other vloggers do it that way. I saw one place it inside the cheek pads, theres no wind noise but its a little muffled..
I have done that too, it's not the mic, it's the helmet, you can't even hear yourself. I picked up a Shoei today to replace it.
@@SHIFT-ED how was it now? Any better?
@@dongyamotovlog8505 Just got the Shoei yesterday, still waiting on my parts to build the helmet. I'm guessing this weekend I'll be able to get out on the bike.
I'm looking forward to your review of your new helemet build 😁
@@dongyamotovlog8505 I'll make a video for it this time.
I have a xxl helmet it fit perfect I installed the skirt and now the helmet doesn't fit do you have any ideas or solutions to make it fit again?
No clue, sorry. Maybe just remove the helmet skirt, or after wearing a few times it might break in.
Would recommend having the mic off to the side of ur helmet. The it doesn't pic up wind noise from vents in front
Closed my vents but not a bad idea, I think with it up front you pick up to much breathing. I'm going to try to move mine to the side, maybe in the cheek pads.
@@SHIFT-ED yea that's the best place
What is that's name
try proline PL82/FS/Bla windjammer
looks nice on the bottom, but I can't have it go around the outside of my helmet like that with my cardo and camera.
Scarf wrapped around ur head to chin
Hi sir, we dont have here in Philippines windjammer.
Hello. I'm not sure, but I doubt you need in the Philippines, so hot there and lower speeda
You probably need the typhoon jammer when the occasion arises :)
Id rather ride in the cold than sweating my balls off LOL
Have you ever riden in cold before? lol
@@SHIFT-ED yeah... in Japan...
@@GhostMotoDiaries ahh yeah it does get cold there lol
It bothers me on my e-bike
I’m having this problem now!
Your a motovlogger in the Philippines right?
Yeah, thats my other channel (Joseph my life KanoMoto)
It works 😀
yeah it seems to have helped a lot.

wow.... super quiet!
edd i think shubbert is the best on wind noise
Funny thing is I bought a Shoei GTAir2 because in reviews it was rated one of the quietest helmets, It's also loud...lol
@@SHIFT-ED try shubbert, return your shoei
@@priusman1234 eh...lol. Shoei video out tomorrow.
Watch Chill Pusit @225kph
Put fur on the end of ur mike
Try a new helmet. :-) LOL
yeah, I think I'm gonna save up for the Shoie

@@SHIFT-ED Is the Shoie the cheap chinese knockoff version of the Shoei? LOL! I thought you stopped buying chinese products! LOL!
Arai or Shoie are better designed but unfortunately experience. Miss my Arai with so great quality.
@@aicsusa Shoei is Japanese and and made in Japan...lol
