What Bluetooth headset are you currently using and which ones have you've tried? I tried quite a number of Bluetooth headsets and the only one I've used with adequate volume in noisy environments is the Plantronics Voyager 510 (
www.plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/products/cat1150057/cat5420035/prod5460010). It could be due to the actual earpiece going into the ear canal, as it blocks out some of the outside noises. Have you tried the 510?
Slightly off topic:
I'm currently using the Jabra BT8010 Stereo Bluetooth headset to take advantage of A2DP (
www.jabra.com/Sites/Jabra/NA-US/products/Pages/JabraBT8010.aspx). It has a detachable stereo earpiece when not using it for music and has numerous advanced features. It has great volume for music, but slightly inadequate volume for standard voice calls. The earpiece itself does not go in the ear canal. Plantronics is releasing a similar concept headset called the Voyager 855. This one too has a detachable stereo earpiece, but unlike the Jabra BT8010, the earpiece go in the ear canal. I have this one on pre-order, but it's supposed to release in late September/early October (
www.plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/products/cat1150057/cat5420035/prod5880001).
