Mike, the Comtronics helmets I have for my trike had the same issue with the passenger being so close to the engine. Noise was much greater in the rear position. Comtronics has a small switch built into the left earcup that allows the user to switch off the microphone at any time (completely eliminating any noise) yet still being able to hear everything going on including the radio. I always advised my passengers to turn off this switch when entering the landing pattern so I could hear the tower better. If I needed a response from them, I would tell them to tap me on the shoulder.
