I have a Plexifairing 2 on my NH 750 and I did notice an increase in wind noise with my full coverage helmet after installing it. Using earplugs has made all the difference though. I have none of the wind fatigue from the buffeting on the arms and chest, and I can still hear all the sounds around me. When I wear my spare open face helmet I don't get the wind noise, but I feel more safe and comfortable on long rides with the full coverage one.
I think it has to do with the way the air circulation around the shield curls the airflow over and into the sides of the helmet (where your ears happen to be) so that the sound of wind is somehow magnified. With an open face helmet, air is already flowing around your face and ears, so the extra wind velocity doesn't sound much different.
