I removed the liner and blocked those vents with duct tape then replaced the liner. I feel it reduced the noise slightly. Not a huge improvement but a noticeable one. I imagine if you were to take the added step of adding some foam in the area of the vents, then taping them up, it would help even more.That helmet is noisy by design, which is a poor design in my book. I've gone though a few vanity helmets over the years, and this is one of the bad ones. God rid of it just a few days later. It helps to buy helmets in the store, so the exchange process is fast and painless.
My current winter helmet is Scorpion EXO-500, and while mediocre at best, it's surprisingly quiet and warm. Clearance price under 100.
