The Phantom Siren

Anyone else hear this when doing motorway riding? I'm sure I'm either imagining it, or the helmet/bike has a siren-like whine to it!:shock:

I hear the 'phantom siren' occasionally. I reckon that it's a combination of wind noise and paranoia. I don't tend to hear it these days as I now wear earplugs for all riding.

+1. Used to hear it a lot more before I wore earplugs, which would suggest it is at least partially some acoustic illusion caused by wind/bike noise coming into the helmet, rather than solely psychological.
