Default s.g. windscreen

Im looking at getting a taller windscreen for my 2009 s.g.I like the stock short screen for hot summer days,but would like a taller one for longer trips,my question is those of you with taller screens can you hear the bike better? My bike is fairly loud with hooker slip-ons,but after about 40m.p.h I bairly hear the bike,unless Im cracking the throttle

I have a 2010 with TD Bubs, a 6.5 KW shield. I can hear the radio fine, I can also hear my pipes and when I turn down the radio can have a conversation with the wife. To gauge windshield height, I am 5'11.

I had a 6.5 KW. I did not like it. Too much wind in the face.
Got a 9 inch regular flip LRS. Pretty much perfect..
As far as hearing the bike better, I dunno, but I can hear my stereo a little better.

I use a Clark's Custom 10" shield and I can definitely hear the radio better.
