When I first moved up to my Bell Star II from a Nava 2, I thought it was very quiet. After a couple of years I found myself wearing ear plugs for highway trips and wishing I had a quieter helmet. I guess the soft foam, especially the cheek pads and the neck roll, compress some or just get saggy with all the sweat and use, etc. Au ihnp4!houem!ahn "The quieter it is, the faster I go." -- E.
