When riding at full speed on a motorcycle, there is often a tendency to believe that the main harmful noises come from either the engine or the exhaust. However, the exposure of motorcyclists to the wind on a long road, even within the limit of the speed limit, leads to many outside noises. For health and comfort reasons, choosing a good motorcycle helmet with Noise-reducing Intercom is therefore a necessity. 

Maximum noise reduction for better insulation

To minimize the nuisance of surrounding noise, motorcycle helmets with Intercom use the active sound reduction technology. It consists of counter noise by making a sound of the same frequency in the opposite phase so that they cancel out. 

This way, you'll be better insulated from these sounds and protected by your noise-cancelling headphones. So you're only going to hear the voice of the person you're talking to or the sound of music you're playing while you're driving. 

15 dB less noise to provide extra safety

Long motorcycle journeys expose more than 100 dB of violent sounds, while the bearable threshold is 90 dB. Used alone, most motorcycle helmets still make 85 dB of noise audible at legal speed. 

To ensure greater ease and acoustic safety on motorcycles, helmets will need to be equipped with a Intercom sound reduction able to isolate the surrounding sound from at least 15 dB of noise. This progress clearly contributes to improving the health conditions of bikers who have to complete more than 100 kilometres of daily journeys.

The Intelligent Noise Control included in the most powerful headphones exploits active sound reduction technology. The waves that will be used to cancel out parasitic noises will be emitted by two microphones positioned on each ear. Notably thanks to a built-in module at the back of the helmet.
