What "air intake noise"?
Filter is in place. Also have checked to see that the air intake track is complete and in place.
I have a five minute 8% grade, at 35 to 40 miles per hour grade that puts a load on the engine. Sounds not unlike a Ducati that I had with an open air box.
Yes, ear plugs work, but for around town that is a PITN.

Haha, OK. The best thing would be to compare it to other C650s and then you'll know if there's something amiss or just BMW's engineering.
I kinda think your hearing the outboard motor sound. If your in SOCAL you we can compare the sound between bikes
Drilled the exhaust out on my 1600, sure sounds better, tempted to try it out on brides 650, what a lame sound, not willing to spend big bucks on the after market exhaust

Outboard motor, yes you are correct. Had an eighteen hp Johnson, water-ski and all. Great times.
I road the demo, probably a first edition as well, much the same noise.
My 8% hill and speed is the perfect combination for the excessive noise.
I'll go around the back way a little quieter, if longer.
