Default How to reduce wind noise when recording a ride?

I made another video of my Fatboy today, mainly from the first person perspective. I'm using a Galaxy S9 with a chest mount.

The video quality is great but sadly, once the bike gets above about 25-30mph, most of what you hear is just wind noise.

Any ideas on cutting that out? Is the GoPro better?

You could probably tape over the microphone but then you might cut out the engine noise, IDK. If you do this, try paper or cloth tape first.

A windsalyer could reduce the wind noise effectively. Check the video below.

Get an external microphone and shield it from the wind or get a mic that takes one of those big furry covers.

Remote mic, install it at the back of the bike so all you hear is the exhaust.
