It doesn’t take much to reduce the wind noise….to see how simple it is, take your index finger and align it with your front strap and just place it there for a few seconds. Substantial reduction in wind noise.

I have heard of people sewing a small bit of foam backer rod onto their helmets to reduce the noise. Never tried it, but the “finger test” indicates it should work.
