I've had an S1 (i.e. non-flip Schuberth) for years, and it is much  
quieter / more comfortable than anything else I've tried.  Visor  
position and whether you have vents open or closed makes a difference  
to noise level - so suspect that with all the extra bits and bobs on  
Concept it would have to be noisier.  My experience is that Schuberth  
ventilation methods work well - easy to use one-handed and the demist  
setting actually works.

Your experience with noise is not unique.  Here from a review online  
(wherein nothing did very well, and 'B-' is actually a good-ish score):

I can't get the flip-up style versions to fit (any make) - but guess  
if you can and they are not too noisy the safety benefits of the flip  
up bit in event of accident are worth having.
