Nolan helmets seem to not have as much noise they are a little pricy but well worth it

Go in for helmets of either one of these types...1. With a body like a golf ball, ie. with dimples all over the surface of the helmet. Suitable for cruisers, and bike in which you sit upright.2. With groves that run from the side to the rear of the helmet. If you ever Superbike racing, you'll see almost everyone wearing this shape. This shape is suitable for racing bikes in which you bend forward and sit.Keep in mind that the more frills like openable air intakes, buttons, etc your helmet may have, and incase if the entire chin of the helmet can be flipped open, the more wind noise the helmet will make.Almost all leading helmet maufacturers make these two basic shapes. Just visit their website, select the model and order it online in the color of your choice.I could have suggested you a particular brands and models but I don't know which country you ar at and whats your budget like.All the best.

BMW's own helmet is very good if a little pricey.Do you use earplugs? They really are essential with any helmet.
