Is there something I can buy to reduce the wind noise?

I actually used black electricians tape and wrapped it around where u see the slide openings underneith the mail bars. That did help a lot, and it's held up through wind rain and snow. Also, I turn up the radio lol

Is it the feet or the bar? Use 8 guage wire to wrap the bar, space each wrap 1". may work on the mounting feet also.

No not a real loud fan noise, kinda a low sound with a very good wind flow, very powerful breeze. Don't believe it would drowned out trampling dog noise.

The only solution i found was to put a bit of electrical tape on the holes on the top of the unit, it muffles the sound a bit. But it is still too loud for my tastes.

You can buy a wind speed indicator, or use the Beaufort Scale http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/scales/beaufort.html

I use them to reduce the wind noise riding my motorcycle. No more headaches from the noise.

I have used the SGM-1X mostly outdoors and have found that wind noise is acceptable in light winds with the included foam wind screen. If you add a "fur" type wind screen (Movo WS3 Furry Outdoor Microphone Windscreen Muff for Large Shotgun Microphones - Amazon), it will work OK in moderate winds. Bear in mind that trees, flags and other ambient wind sounds will be heard in the wind.

There is some slight wind noise through the mic but I installed the Vega speaker pads I found on Amazon from Orange Choppers in Florida and it helped tremendously. There is a noise cancellation setting in the Sena that you can also use and it helps.

You will need a speed controller, they cost about $20. You can also use insulated ducting which will do a good job at reducing the noise, depending on how you have it set up.

That is one thing nice about this headset. It has the wind mic on it, which helps reduce wind noise. However, as all the others recommended, adjust the mic boom and it should help minimize or eliminate it.

The best you can do is either put a dead cat on it or a blimp. It doesn't pick up much noise outside anyway unless it's REALLY windy. Mild wind noise will cancel itself out unless it's hitting the mic dead on the front end.As for distance, the sound quality will deteriorate with distance. I would not go more than 5-8 feet from the subject. Use a boom if needed.

Definitely..... Just need to make sure you make some type of wind blocker with aluminum foil and some rocks or something.

NOT REALLY NOISY.. YOU CAN HEAR THE AIR FLOW BECAUSE IT MOVES A GREAT DEAL OF AIR. I LOVE IT!!!not sure what noise reduction is?

The attachments are secondary components like bike racks and stuff. Yes there is some wind noise but it is minimal. The rack comes with some rubber strips that go into the T-channel slots which makes the rack much quieter with out it creates a noticeable whistle.

It is not silent, but not noisey either. a good pad underneath would limit the noise.

Yes it is everything you need other than bike rack or ski holders those are considered attachments. I have not had any one complain of wind noise .

I have to second Joe M's answer. The most effective noise reduction solution is a set of cheap foam ear plugs.

When I installed mine, there was terrible wind flapping noise at highway speed. In order to fix this, I had to cut off the rubber flap at the front of the bed cover (near the back window). Since I have done that, it is perfect.
