Dave is right about the helmet fit being paramount for noise reduction. If you are getting noise from under the helmet, I'm guessing the area under each ear, a windshield height change will have a minimal effect on reducing the noise.

I have friends that swear by the molded ear plugs, but I can't stand them. I guess ear plugs are like helmets. You have to try the different brands until you find one to suit you.
BTW, what brand helmet are you currently using, and how old is it?
