Is this helmet loud when you ride?

It is considerably less loud than riding without a helmet, but it is far from perfect...air can whistle in through the cracks if you go freeway speeds

No... it is nice and quiet! It's very durable and comfortable... well worth the price! ;)

It is not particularly noisy. It cycles automatically over a preset timed cycle that the operator sets. We have been very happy with this product..

I don't think it is loud at all. I am very pleased with everything about it.

No the helmet needs to cover your ears. The helmet holds the speakers in place over your ears. Plus on a bicycle helmet there is nowhere to put the microphone and the transmitter.

Is not a silent helmet, I mean the level of noise and vent is annoying at highway speeds

It's not loud for sure. I really like mine. It may have a little noise but it's soothing and honestly I don't notice it.

Its not very loud at all, I wish I had a decibel meter to answer you properly, but I will say you hear more of a "whoosh" from the air moving than anything. It also depends on the setting because while none of the settings are loud by OTR vent standards, the lowest setting is very soft. We've never had to yell to converse with one another even on the highest (loudest) setting. I hope this helps.

No, but it has an adjustable headband in the crown, so the helmet doesn't really need padding. It's a little small for adults, though.

The unit appears to do very well with any kind of background noise. I've been in bars with a band playing so loud I had cover my ears to hear my caller and they asked me why I was shouting! I have worn it and had conversations while on my bike with 20mph wind and city traffic and no complains about any noise. In fact they don't realize I'm on my bike. I've yet to peddle at 70 mph but if you can keep it in your ear the wind sound shouldn't be a problem. I left mine in a rental car and liked it so much I'm shopping for the exact replacement.

The "bill" has a good sized opening for air flow so it is ok as far as "wind lift". But this is a budget helmet so it is a bit noisy at speed.

Yes, I find it fairly loud. On my machine, anyway, which is older and ready to be replaced because it leaks.

No issues with volume as I have 2 helmets. My only issue is finding visors other than clear

No, it is not LOUD. It is barely adequate. But it is clear enough. I would never buy it again, not at half the price.

Hi, when I first saw your question I thought, "nose, what noise?" But yes, come to think about it, there is noise produced by the rotating wheel that creates drag in order to add resistance. At first, it may seem loud, then again you get so used to it, that you won't even notice it. So if I had to pick, I would say that the device is not too loud.

Hi AlexThe Pill has enough horsepower so that you may hear it no matter how fast you are riding. Of course the faster you go the more outside noise from wind etc you will hear but it has worked well for me.

Yes, have the same problem with both of my helmets and the volume does not work either. Even on high volume without the motorcycle running my husband & I can barely hear each other. This helmet is definetely not worth the money!
