Louder on the left?

[AlanB]

I know it's not my imagination, but the wind noise on the left side of my 1200GS is most definitely worse than the right, and I'm not sure why.

I wear a System V helmet, and regularly use in-ear plugs / monitors for my long daily commute, but the noise at the left side of the helmet is distinctly louder / rougher, more of a mild roar. The right side is relatively clean (certainly more so since I fitted Tobinators and adjusted the screen further down).

I switched to foam plugs for a day or two, just in case it was a poor seal in the ear plug, but the bias was still there.

I'm anticipating you telling me I've got one ear that's better than the other, and I might go along with that, but not to the extent I am experiencing. The difference is quite pronounced. Has anybody else noticed anything like it?

Yep, I think you're right.

I've a different setup - GSA, Schuberth C2 or Tour X lid and custom moulded earplugs.

I've no idea why, though it did just occur to me that your left ear is closer the side of the road, where noise could be reflected back by walls, hedges etc, than you're right ear
