Weekend Rider
The amount of wind noise I'm getting is maddening. Since I'm an audiophile, I can feel the ear damage after even a 10 minute ride if I skip the earplugs. I've tried a few things, and want your input if you're willing.
Foam shooter's 32db earplugs
Placing my hand around my throat
That's right... putting my hand around my throat while riding kills the wind noise. It has to be breaking up the wind flow, and it has nothing to do with a flapping collar (I can tighten that down with no effect).
I can't seem to find any products that might do this, so I open this up... any ideas? Could this just be a shiatty chin design on the helmet? Something else I'm missing entirely?

I can now go 45m-1h before it starts hurting. Usually.

Reduced the frequency and slightly nudged down the voloume. No time difference.

Holy damn... MASSIVE improvement. Wait.... what?
