Noisy helmet

New RHPA72 looked smart and fitted ok. Little tight to start with but ok now. Helmet is really noisy. Far worse than my RHPA70. Had to use various earplugs but still not good. Scratch resistant visor scratches easily. Visor mechanism is not easy to refit once removed and is very clunky when opening. Vision is improved from my RHPA70 and good ventilation. First helmet purchased the front air vent broke on first ride but was quickly replaced by Sportsbikeshop. I did really expect this helmet to be quieter as per the HJC advertisements but clearly not. Overall I am disappointed with this but unfortunately you can't send it back once you have used it. I have liked my previous HJC helmets but will have a serious rethink before I buy another.
Helpful?
