Hay Guys an Gals

Out on the Wing the other day and earplugs in, there is always some wind noise of course no matter what the windscreen is or the claims made.

i know that the sidecar does not help as it changes the wind flow, BUT if i point my right arm forward horizontally at shoulder height the wind noise vanishes. Thoughts and silly answers welcome =)

My guess is that your arm causes a different flow around your arm that otherwise would smack randomly against your helmet.  At least that's how I figure it when I do something similar.
