I wear a FF and use a windshield. I take the visor off the helmet and just wear sunglasses. No buffeting at all.

 

This depends on your FF brand. I've worn kbc when i had my r6 and practically no wind noise same when i wore my dads old bell. when i bought my bike i borrowed a buddies full face and that thing was loud as heck because the padding ended with flap on the bottom on the underside the acted like a wind scoop. I got a scorpion now based on some reviews on this forum and the internet. i just got it and will ride with it for the first time today and i'll report back about, but i made sure the design of the padding didn't suck on the bottom on both sides. Hopefully that makes sense without pics if not let me know so i find pics after work to put up.

Here's the reviews i read

I use a Windvest raked back slightly and a Scorpion EXO 400 helmet. I'm 100% satisfied.

 

You really need to go to a bike shop and try on a bunch, find which one you like the best. I have an Arai Vector, and absolutely love it. I wear it probably 75% of the time I ride. If you poke around on the Internet you can find it really cheap (mine was $350 shipped)

 

I tryed the ear plugs ,but then I can't hear people talk,SO I tryed something corny on long trips on interstate I use small ear muffs that rapparound the back of my big head the block the wind noise I get to wear my skid lid ,and I can still hear!

 

To me, that would be a bonus...

 

Been wearing FF since whenever Bell introduced it's "Star" helmet way back in '69 or '70 something. Currently wear Scorpion EXO 700. Earplugs on long hi-speed rides. If it is hot out, gee, it is hot; I sweat.

 

FF shoei RF1000, I love it but its hot even with the vents open.

 

Full Face HJC SYS MAX Modular, not noisy, very little buffeting. Wish it were white instead of black in the summertime. If you wear full face IMO modular is the way to go. You can flip it up to drink, get gas, etc.. without taking it off.

I have been trying to find a Snell rated white modular. No luck so far.

 

For reducing wind noise, I wear ear plugs whether I am wearing a full-face, beanie or no helmet - ALWAYS. Sometimes I'll listen to my mp3 player instead of the ear plugs, but I always have one or the other in. I have tinnitus so the ringing never stops, but earplugs help. It's amazing how much of a difference they make.
