Cockpit noise

Hey guys!

I just have a question that had been haunting my mind last couple of weeks!

All boeing 737 NGs are fited with 10 tiny Vortex Generators near the front windshield and on the nose (not the aft VGs!). And Boeing says it reduces cockpit noise.

Another friend of mine said, it is to energize the airflow which may disturbe by the gap of the radome hing area.

Will anybody know what is the story behind this 10 VGs? and technically how it will reduce the cockpit "noise" ?. I appriciate a very discriptive one

Thank a lot!
