Don't have handlebar controls and can't use that little adjuster in the wire with gloves on.
That has to tell you something about the level of background noise you’re experiencing.

I look in the background but I don't see anything back there.

Maybe your horn is broken!

These black patches don't block the sound very well, but they're very good at blocking light. Hmmmm...

I wear some Eargasm ear plugs and they seem to do a good job of blocking noise from the wind at high speeds, but still let me hear things around me when I'm poking along through town.
...eye flaps???
