Motorcycle Helmet Too Loud? We have all been there. When a helmet is too loud, it makes riding your motorcycle less enjoyable. Today, I am showing you how to instantly make your helmet 3X quieter.
Thanks to Sebastian Solo from the Ruroc Motorcycle Gang Facebook Page for this idea.

I recently picked up a bluetooth system and noticed it actually made my helmet louder by removing the foam that was in the speaker cutouts. This is a genius idea and I just ordered these and am looking forward to trying this out! Thank you so much.

@NickH94 Месяц назад

@@TheMrsmiley1980 I actually never ended up trying them out. I probably still have them in the package, but I ended up buying a new Shoei RF-1400 which is amazingly quiet as an upgrade over the Scorpion I was using. I'll still have to give this a try.

I prefer the quiet ride helmets. They have ear cups with air bladders behind them. Once you put the helmet on and get the ear muffs over your ears, you pump up the air bladder for a custom fit. As i have tinnitus this is a great help. I also use earplugs in combination with it. Really quiet. They come with speakers. You can also just buy a kit for your existing helmet.

I have an AGV K6 that is plagued with wind noise on my 22 GSXS1000GT. I can hear conversation up to about 57 mph and I have noise cancelling earplug in. I've been told carbon fiber helmets are louder, but it was tested by Champion helmets as one of the quietest. I will receive these today and am crossing my fingers. I have the Cardo packtalk black and tried the newer version before that and they don't get loud enough, which tells you my ambient noise is too high. I have near perfect hearing.

I haven’t felt any discomfort other putting the helmet on itself being a little harder. Once it’s on, it’s not pressing against my ears fully, it’s reducing the amount of open space inside the helmet.
