How can I reduce wind noise from my helmet?

In-depth explanation

Choose a helmet with a streamlined shell, good neck roll seal, and tight visor fit to reduce wind turbulence. Proper fit reduces gaps that create whistling; a snug neck roll and well-sealed visor help. Use earplugs on long rides to protect hearing and reduce fatigue — they are often the most practical noise mitigation. Padding upgrades and communication system insulation also help.
