very true mr. roussfam.
the one i have now is a full face and at certain speeds it sounds like a freight train but not always so i think wind direction has a part.
the BEST helmet i ever owned was an air force aviator's helmet, looked like a mosquito hawk on two wheels but it was quite and comfortable, wore the lining out. it was tough, could bounce it like a basket ball.

It happened to me today when we rode to the BBQ joint for lunch. I figured it has something to do with mowing the yard and blowing the dust out of the garage this morning.

Finally found it one day, problem solved

I’ve had to scratch my nose inside my helmet more than I have the entire rest of my life combined!
I love the modular helmet; it’s great to get air when needed and maybe even a sip of water at a stoplight.
