I have a really quiet Nolan (Stoner replica) and a new M2R (Vixen) that is nearly as good.
However, before you blame the helmet, consider what type of jacket you are wearing.
I have found over the years that the collar on a jacket can contribute a lot to wind noise by directing airflow upwards around your neck..
I have two jackets that are great and they have a sort of neck wrap that velcros around the front and sits on the neck like a sleeve.
But I also have a couple of jackets that have a sort of roll of leather or a normal collar and these ones tend to be very noisy and I'm sure it is the disruption to air flow around the neck area that causes it.
Putting a neck warmer or balaclava on can also restrict the noise as well.
