Default Bug shield for reducing windshield noise

I was wondering if anyone who has a bug shield has noticed whether or not the wind noise caused by the windshield was reduced any. Other threads i found seemed to mainly talk about reduction of bugs on the windshield. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I've had deflectors on most of my vehicles and on all 3 Wranglers I have owned. I don't really notice nuch difference in the noise, I use them because they do a good job of directing the wind away from the hood and windshield. I have less trash and tiny stones hitting the hood and windshield and it helps in the rain. I think I have less chips in the windshield with the deflector.

This one has a Rugged Ridge. My TJs both had Lunds I believe.

All were fine.
