My commute is about 10-15 minutes, so I don't have much concern. However, on longer trips I've become convinced that its worth looking into a higher quality helmet in general. So maybe I will take noise into account on my next purchase.

I don't believe the study. I'll admit I've ridden with and without a helmet. The wind noise was a zillion times louder without a helmet than with one. The engine noise wasn't a problem, I couldn't hear it over the wind roar.

top of the line Arais and Shoei's are "race" helmets w/ lots of vents and ports, those equal noise.
