Does Fairing increase engine noise

Does having a fairing like the one on my 07 RG, increase and make the engine noises more prominent? I have a ticking noise at 2K rpm then is goes away.

Doesn't increase the noise... just makes it easier to hear.
a) You've got less wind noise to mask it.
b) Some of it's getting reflected back at you.
