Not at all. 30-40mph you can hit around 90 db inside the helmet. You’re not that much better with a helmet off either. Air moving over surfaces is loud, if not the helmet you are going to get it from the wind hitting your ears.

There are certainly helmets that try to optimize for noise but there is no single one fix beyond ear plugs.
