Depends on where you ride. If you're out in the sticks, it's insignificant.
Ride by a really busy 4 lane highway and it's extremely loud, particularly when it's wet. It's so loud that I had to buy a cell phone that sends text messages because I can't hear who I'm talking to even on max volume. I don't think that "normal" noise is dangerous for your hearing.
