Unless a rider has tried on all different helmets all on the same bike, the question is very hard to answer.
I use KBC and never had an issue or excessive noise..
but I have never tried any other helmets.
i read a report once that was done buy a helmet testing co. it said that all the helmets they test , the tester always weares ear plugs. their quote is that eaven the quietest helmet is to loud for long use.
i have a rf1000 and a quiet rider wind skirt from dennis kirk.com

1. Arai in a few varieties.
2. Shoei in a few varities.
It doesn't matter bike you're riding, it's all about how the helmet fits your head. I wear an Arai Astral-X. It has great venting, and the shield is easy to change. A very comfortable helmet.

Is sure is not the Shoei X-11
It is a give-take situation. I love my X-11, don't get me wrong. It flows more air through it than any other helmet I have tried. But with all of that air, you get noise. The noise and air seem to go hand in hand. The RF 1000 has less air flow and less noise and you can not remove the inner liner to wash it like the X-11
You have to decide what you want in a helmet. I wear earplugs so I have the best of both worlds.
It is about time to replace my X-11. I figure another X-11 or Suomi is in my future.
I got the Arai Quantom 2 Tattoo Blue, was quiter than my first helmet the Blue/Silver RF-1000. And it fits MUCH better. Thats why I went with arai, they have different shells for different shaped heads. They are pricey tho, but well worth it in my eyes.
Cost wasn't included in the question but would members please list the cost. I need to start wearing plugs for noise and pressure.
HJC $120.00 CL-15 Middle of their line.

Just about every question answered and head to head test of many helmets. Get a cup and use the potty b4 you get started.

Scorpion Exo-700. I have had the best Arai and Shoei have to offer. Scorpion is quieter and costs less than $200!
