ABSTRACT:
A wind noise limiting device (10) selectively reducing wind noise while allowing ambient sounds to reach a wearer's ear (18). A sound-permeable body (20), is optionally shaped to surround an outer ear of the wearer, and includes an open-weave mesh (24) of a plastic material which permits air movement through holes in the mesh. Fibers (28) are attached to the mesh. The fibers alter the air flow passing through the device to reduce noise created by air movement across the mesh. The device is attached to a chin strap (12) of a helmet (14). In an alternate embodiment, the body is positioned in front of the ear, and interrupts moving air approaching the ear from the front.
