I've only been near the the TV for two games so far - I noticed the noise all right but didn't consider it particularly worse than the usual background noise at a football match. Aren't there similar sounding things used at all games?

The vuvuzela has nothing to do with South African "culture" - they were first used in the 70's, but mostly in South America & only became popular in South Africa in the 90's.

They are however, bloody annoying - it was bad enough having to endure them during the Confederations Cup, but now the World Cup too. I wouldn't mind if they were vaguely tuneful, or added to the athmosphere, but they do quite the opposite.

No. Only in South America. You'll hear the odd horn been blown at matches in the rest of the world, but nothing like that incessant racket which drowns out even the noises of the crowd.. all the cheers, boos, oooohs & aaaahs.

Active noise cancellation, could that be used ?

Like machine gun fire?

It'd work alright. Might not be very ethical, but it would definitely work.

Considering anything with A.N.C letters might work!

So, how do you hear a black man in the crowd?

You hear him blowing another mans horn... :pac:

I think the word Vuvuzela makes quite a good euphemism, as in:
"I wouldn't mind having a go on her Vuvuzela."
"How big is your Vuvuzela?"

What is annoying is that it is drowning out the fans so you can't hear the chanting or whether the referree is infact a wanker , I like to base my opinion on what the majority opinion , it's easier than thinking for myself. :pac:

Not at all, quite the opposite actually.

Quite annoying op, but it's not a gimmick, has been around for some time, unfortunately. Makes the game very unenjoyable to watch. It's really annoying...

if you duck your EQ at 465Hz and 235Hz, you can in fact filter out the buzz with great results. Ideally you'll reduce each frequency by at least 40dB (which got rid of the drone completely for us), but if your equipment can't quite duck that low, just go as low as you can.

Didn't try it it but its supposed to work if you can do it.
