Crackling sound in lid...

On the way back from a (relatively) long blast yesterday, I noticed a kind of crackling sound from within my helmet, almost like it was raining heavily or something (but it wasn't)...I've checked the lid over but there aren't any cracks or anything, and I didn't crash into anything!...

...any ideas?

Cheers,

Tin

Have you checked all your vents etc for anything loose?

Maybe you have a colony of bugs setting up home in one of your vents Very Happy

Or maybe not Wink

Sounds like a good excuse to get a nice shiny new one to me

It might be the vents...I did run into a few unlucky bugs (and one HUGE bluebottle...I think...), so something might be clogging up the vents...

Bah! Who needs insurance........ Hmmmm maybe you could persuade your much loved ones that every time you use that helmet you are putting your life in danger? (works everytime!)

Sure it wasn't a sound from the bike?
I had a bung on the tank out on upside down after a service, so metal was on metal. The noise vibrated thru me and onto me lid! took me 3 weeks to figure out what it was then I only noticed by accident (went over a speed-bump, clamped legs round tank, noise stopped....)

The noise could be loose visor screws........
or maybe the polystyrene inner is moving around?
Just an idea
