All flip ups are noisy. I use Shoei Multitech but with ear plugs as they are needed.
I am going back to full face as wind noise is a lot less and I do not mind taking it off at appropriate times

I think the shuberth c2 might be your best bet shop around as it an old line and there might be some good discounts hidden away on the net
shuberth are possible the quietist flip on the market and a pin lock visor is now about which improves antifoging

I have been using a Caberg Trip for years and to be honest the noise does not bother me, if touring I do use ear plugs but then find I have trouble hearing the Sat Nav so they get ditched at the first comfort break.
I also have a full face XLite and I find that as noisey as the Caberg but a different pitch and that is annoying.

Multitec int too bad for a flip up.

I have just picked up a Nolan N104 and the noise levels are about the same as those on the Shoei Raid II that I have just 'retired'. (I always wear earplugs regardless of the journey length.) You will find that different helmets perform differently depending on the bike that you are using. I will be using the Nolan primarily on my R1200RT. On that bike the screen when lowered directed air straight at the vent on top of my Shoei - making it very noisy. The Nolan has a different design and is therefore much quieter in the same circumstances. However, the Shoei was fine on my FZS1000 in full airflow.
Unfortunately, you often have to try a lid out in the real world before knowing for sure.
