    Screens and helmet noise?

    Ive got one of the small Givi screens on my bike. Im getting ringing in my ears even though I use plugs. Also my helmet vibrates at speed. Could this be caused by the screen?

    My helmet is a AGV air tech.

    In short, yes.

    I have AGV's (K3 and K4) and they are both very quiet.

    Your lid could also be too big.

    A quick test might be to try it without the screen? Simple solution I know.

    Helmet was a touch small when I got it now perfect. I mean the helmets not moving on my head but its forcing my head to move.

    Yes its easy to remove the screen. But Im not going for a ride now so have asked on here.

    Could be both: helmet too big and the wind deflection (buffeting) off the screen.

    Remove te screen and try a different helmet.

    This is going to sound weird, but another idea might be to try without your earplugs.

    They could possibly be producing a stethoscope type effect.

    Perhaps alter the angle of the screen?

    I've got an AGV Aitech and on my SV1000 the wind noise gets to levels where I can tell I'm doing damage without earplugs if I ride for a couple of hours or more in a day.

    On other bikes I've ridden I tend to not get anywhere near the same amount of noise it just seems to be that the stock SV screen is putting the wind right to my jaw line and causing the problem.

    Unbolt the screen and go for a ride, you'll soon know if it's the screen or helmet after that.
