Quiet Rider - reduces wind noise

Live2ride · January 17th, 2011, 08:25 AM

I found these "Quiet Riders" in a magazine and figured I'd post them up on here. They seem like they would work for all those people who complain of loud wind noise. They have different versions, basic, standard, deluxe, and cold weather.

Here's a few pics if your too lazy to click the link

Do You Use Earplugs When You Ride?

Yasko · January 17th, 2011, 12:35 PM

Very good idea.

wvninja · January 17th, 2011, 12:58 PM

I think those things would just hold the heat in the summer. Good for when its cool out though.

I hate loud bikes and cars. I put a louder pipe on my ninja but regretted it other than i could actually hear my bike over the road noise. My cbr has a stock pipe and its quiet.

setasai · January 17th, 2011, 01:36 PM

I find that even with earplugs, wind noise is louder than the engine or the exhaust. It's kind of ridiculous how loud it is. I currently use green foam earplugs from CVS rated at -32db but i'm skeptical and thinking about looking for even more noise isolation.

Flashmonkey · January 17th, 2011, 02:27 PM

The deluxe and cold-weather models would probably effective as hell. Ever since I switched over to my Suomy Vandal (which lacks a chin skirt) I've noticed that a hell of a lot of noise comes through the opening beneath my chin. I've experimented by blocking it with my hand and the difference is ridiculous.

Thanks for the link. I may get one of these.

eddiekay · January 17th, 2011, 03:01 PM

I can get behind something like this.
My hearing loss is +20 % in both ears....the wind on long rides...or maybe i just been married too long ?

gfloyd2002 · January 17th, 2011, 03:43 PM

Seems like it may not work for all helmets. The WebBikeWorld Review said "We do not notice an immediate decrease in noise levels with the Quiet Rider installed," but noted it might work for different helmets or other situations. They gave a much better review to the Windjammer, which looks really similar, but tested as actually reducing noise levels. If you want this type of device instead of earplugs, you may want to take a look at the Windjammer instead of the Quiet Rider.

Earplugs might be a better option, and WebBikeWorld has a fantastic reference page on earplugs that, with Alex's linked thread earlier, could be the right answer.

Live2ride · January 17th, 2011, 04:13 PM

It seems to me that the windjammer looks a lot cheaper than the quiet rider, but I haven't tried either one so I couldn't tell you which works better. It seems to me like they would both work to some extent. As far as these go for me, I would only get one for cold weather riding, not noise reduction. I just pop in my headphones on a low volume and go on my merry way. I hear a lot of people complain about a loud whistling noise from wind rushing in the helmet around the neck, either one of these seem like they would fix that. Even with (in-ear) headphones in I could hear some whistling in my helmet, I just figured I'd post this as an option mostly to people who ride in cold weather.

gfloyd2002 · January 17th, 2011, 05:12 PM

For cold weather, they look great. Back when I had winters, keeping my neck out of the wind was the best thing I could do to stay warm, and that winter version would be pretty convenient.

Yea, I might get one for next year. Besides, we already have enough redneck's around here

setasai · January 17th, 2011, 07:04 PM

The windjammer looks like one of those magic boxes where you stick your hand in there and get bit by a snake. I can barely get my head into the helmet as it is. I wonder if it would make it any more/less difficult. Does look like it'll work well to seal the wind/noise from entering the helmet though. Might just have to give it a try.

Flashmonkey · January 17th, 2011, 08:58 PM

FWIW...a pair of those $20 rocketfish noise-cancelling ear phones from Best Buy do a pretty good job of silencing most noises. Especially when you crank up the Lady Gaga.

wvninja · January 18th, 2011, 06:53 AM

I think the wind noise maybe your shield / type of helmet. I had a cheaper fulmer that had interchangable screens. When I put the clear or smoked shield on that thing would whistle like crazy. I put a mirrored shield on and nothing... quiet as could be.

I now own a shoei and there's zero whistle. For the chin noise I position my head up or down and that reduces / increases the noise.

Animal78 · February 9th, 2011, 11:14 AM

Yeah I was going to say. Helmets make noise on their own. A good helmet will be quiet. The helmet I have currently is noisy. But it has lots of vents to keep me cool and the noise all but stops if I close them.

leed · February 27th, 2011, 09:27 PM

A good friend of mine owns either the Winter (or maybe the Deluxe.. Now I don't remember what the back looks like). I spoke to him this past week, and he says it doesn't do much for noise, but he swears by it to keep his neck warm. He has a Shoei and rides a Honda Shadow. Granted, I never asked if he was talking about wind or exhaust.

Sailariel · February 28th, 2011, 09:01 AM

When I had the Ninja, I wore earplugs even though my Nolan helmet was relatively quiet. On the Honda, the windshield is adjustable and I can adjust it so that there is no noise or wind. I think that in the summer I will want some wind. I always have ear plugs in my tank bag when I need them.

NevadaWolf · January 15th, 2014, 11:27 PM

Necro thread BUMP!

I stumbled upon these somehow and figured why not? I just received the Cold Weather version from the direct website since it seems every distributor is out of stock on these. I could care less about the "noise reduction" aspect of these as I wear earplugs, but I am highly interested in cutting out the wind that freezes my neck and face in cold weather.

The fabric was definitely thinner than I expected. Thought it would be a heavy material but its very flexible nylon type stuff. Inside is a softer material. The edge is stiff but its also flexible as its the "hook and loop" (aka Velcro) stuff.

Getting it on was a PITA but I took webBikeWorld's advice and lined it up and started at the back rather than the chin as instructed. I have a SparX Tracker helmet that has a rubber lip around the bottom that i had to push aside and partially pull out to get the stiff edge shoved down between the foam and the shell. I have not installed the other half of the Velcro and may do that later.

Once installed, the Quiet Rider forms a nice curtain around the entire helmet. The front is a separate panel that velcros down to the front edges of the sides. There is a little zipper that opens through to the interior of the helmet to help with airflow (I intend to use it as a port for the CamelBack hose). The stiff edge only covers two thirds of the curtain, leaving the back to be velcro'd together with two flaps that go up into the helmet to seal off the back and two flaps that hang down to tuck into the collar of your jacket.

Until i get a bit more practice with this, the procedure seems to be put the helmet on first, smooth out the front and back flaps, and then put on the outer jacket to hold them down. I may be able to figure out how to completely tuck the flaps in after my jacket is on but needs work.

A short thirty minute ride tonight with temperatures in the low 30's was my initial test run. On one hand, the amount of wind was cut significantly and rather than a Arctic blast hitting my face, there was just a thin leak of air coming in from somewhere. But there was that small leak. I am not sure yet of the source, could be I did not close the front panel fully, the zipper isn't windproof, or the fabric itself isn't windproof. So not dinging it yet as I have many other tests to run.

Ignoring the slight chill against my chin, the space inside my helmet was still enough that my visor was continuously fogging up. I was able to open the zippered slot with my glove but cracking the visor was a quicker solution. A test phone call to see if the other end could hear anything and they said no, no noise other than me talking. However, that was the case when I had a balaclava so not sure if that is relevant or not.

Few more rides to work out the minor air leak but for right now it seems to work well.

cuong-nutz · January 16th, 2014, 02:30 AM

I read the review on webbikeworld a while back and decided not to get it. Did you try looking on Ebay for it? Anyways, I decided not to get it since I felt that it would be marginally better than my neck gaiter/bandana setup.

Did you have all the vents closed on your helmet?

NevadaWolf · January 16th, 2014, 08:00 AM

The main reason I wanted to try this was with the balaclava, I was unable to use my drink hose or eat snacks while on the bike. Since I am bad about doing both anyway, I would find myself riding all day and not eating or drinking. I tried cutting a hole around the area in front of my mouth but that just left a hole for cold air to blast into.

I've ridden vents closed and open and have yet to see a difference either way. I'll frequently try switching them if my visor fogs up but nothing seems to change. :shrug:

Thanks for the great review!!
I will be buying one of the non cold weather ones (I have an awesome balaclava already).
I want this simply for the noise reduction as earplugs do not help against wind noise in mic's when Vlogging or talking/hearing phone when using Bluetooth.

cuong-nutz · January 16th, 2014, 08:20 AM

The only remedy I can think of is maybe a sport touring windscreen. Great for the Winters but sucked during the summers.

Have you tried putting tape over the zipper and see if that's it?

NevadaWolf · January 16th, 2014, 08:27 AM

Not yet, that'll be a further test. Just need to work out a way to have the tape cover the zipper that doesn't prevent me from opening it up periodically. I was hoping it'd be like the weather resistant zippers i have on my backpacks. I had looked at touring screens and opted against it for now, that may be a purchase later on.

@EsrTek, you are welcome. Hopefully it will cut the noise for you enough that you can be heard clearly.

perhaps sew a flap over the zipper?

I still need to glue my ST windscreen back together. They don't hold well when your bike tips over.

I like your review, Teri.

Have you tired any product against fog?

NevadaWolf · January 16th, 2014, 04:00 PM

Thank you.

I have the Cat Crap wax at home and was going to test it tonight.

One idea i have to try solving the leak is there is an unsealed gap left at the top of the front flap. I am hoping i can shove the helmet's own wind stopper thing back in on top of the quiet rider and block wind from going there. Maybe.... Or sew on a flap over the zipper.

Blog Entries: 16 MOTM Jul '13, Jul '14	Thank you. I have the Cat Crap wax at home and was going to test it tonight. One idea i have to try solving the leak is there is an unsealed gap left at the top of the front flap. I am hoping i can shove the helmet's own wind stopper thing back in on top of the quiet rider and block wind from going there. Maybe.... Or sew on a flap over the zipper. __________________________________________________ <-- Linky Hey Unregistered! The code [you] shows the username currently logged in.
