How to optimise helmet acoustic properties?

Any type of motorcycle helmet has its own features that could affect the product noisiness, a clear example is the comparison of a full-face helmet with an urban jet, for obvious reasons, the first will be the quieter of the two, it is exposed to less turbulence while driving thanks to its protection in the chin area. For motorcyclists who are more sensitive to noise, there are some small tricks that could reduce the sounds perceived during a motorcycle trip even at higher speeds.

First of all, it is necessary to have n helmet of the correct size, a product that is too large would leave room for annoying and noisy air vortices inside the helmet. One more trick concern the use of the stop wind and nose cover (where provided) is recommended to reduce the entry of air in specific areas, in the same way, closing the air intakes (when possible) could have several benefits from this point of view, as well as traveling with the visor completely closed. In addition, incorrect installation of Bluetooth communication systems could negatively affect the silence of the helmet, leaving more room for air to infiltrate the product. The type of motorbike and the riding posture also greatly influence the noise, more exposed the biker is, greater the turbulence around the helmet and the perceived noises will be.
