As soon as the temps drop I wear caps that cover my ears. Then, come springtime, I'm always shocked at how loud riding can be.
I wear a hat that covers ears during cold weather and when I can ride w/o or with a cycling cap, I actually enjoy the 'noise'..and if I'm having something going on with the bike, I can hear it. Maybe I don't go fast enough to have wind noise be a problem, but to me, it isn't any problem.
