A UK circuit’s 105 dB(A) noise test measures your exhaust from half a metre away, not what reaches your ear across six sessions. Here is what track-day riders and drivers should wear under a helmet.

Riders repeat the same five claims about earplugs, from the helmet being enough to plugs being illegal. Here is what the Highway Code, HSE and published research actually say.

Wind noise inside a helmet reaches 97 to 104 dB(A) at 70 mph, and it overtakes the engine from about 40 mph up. Here is the measured data, speed by speed, and what it does to your hearing.

Wind noise, not the engine, is what damages a rider’s hearing. Measurements under standard helmets recorded 97 to 104 dB(A) at 70 mph. We compare filtered silicone, foam, custom moulds and noise-cancelling earbuds on certified SNR, helmet fit, reuse and price.
