That is the challenge when buying and installing a windshield. You never know exactly how it's going to work for you until you try it. The dynamics include windshield height, distance of windshield from rider, shape and aerodynamics of windshield, rider height, helmet style, and so forth. The other huge issue connected to all these dynamics is head buffeting. In other words, the wind that swirls around your windshield and literally knocks your head around. I've used windshields that were so amazing I had little or no noise and so little air movement that a fly could sit safely on my speedo console while I went down the road at 75 MPH. I've used other shields that were so noisy and so rough on the head that I felt like I had been in a fight with someone after driving only a few miles on the highway. (These kinds are things are usually felt above 50 or 55 MPH.)
But if noise is the only thing you're dealing with, might I suggest a good pair of earplugs? I bought these plugs<http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?jspStoreDir=hdus&catalogId=10053&productId=100083845&navFlow=3&keyword=ear+plugs&langId=-1&searchRedirect=ear+plugs&storeId=10051&[EMAIL PROTECTED]&ddkey=Search>this summer and love them. Good ear plugs don't only limit noise, they lengthen your ability to go longer distances by reducing wind fatigue. Ride safe!
