Yeah....it's really taking away from the games where I'm concerned. The incessant drooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, is just damn annoying.

 

[jtlawlor]

HATE IT! Can't hear one damn chant... makes the Arg,Korean, and English fans - silent! They should have banned them from the non-african games! grrrrrr.....

 

[Bopper]

Those things could be used as a torture device!! My god that sound is just terrible!

I understand that they are a part of South African football culture but they really take away from game-watching experience if you ask me.

I joined this facebook group;

Interesting article here;

I can understand lettign them blow them when SA is playing, giving them the "it's part of SA football culture." But not for other matches. Because it's not part of Japan's futball culture, or Spain, or anywhere else.

Good point. I joined the FB group as well.

I thought you passed out and went head first into your keyboard.

I guess I don't get all this soccer stuff.

 

[AnonyBrew]

LOL. Joined as well.

 

[Bopper]

I'm not near a TV right now but I swear I can still hear that damn sound: BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!

 

[Revvy]

 

[IrregularPulse]

I've only caught 20 minutes of two games online and haven't noticed. I'll have to listen for it if I get a chance to catch one of tv.

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

Awesome.

IR- it sounds like a massive bees' nest.

There's a petition site here;

A stampede of noisy elephants, a deafening swarm of locusts, a goat on the way to slaughter and a giant hive full of very angry bees..... At 127 decibels a piece.

 

[olllllo]

I would like them to bring it to the NBA.

 

[david_42]

What makes the sound of vuvuzelas so annoying?

Not that I'm watching the games, but science is good.

 

[shecky]

Now I know how the Biblical folks felt when the plague of locusts appeared.

 

[Revvy]

This is interesting, there is an audio processing plug in for folks watching on computers, I guess to remove the buzzing from the stream.

[Hugh_Jass]

Lol! I read the title as containing the word "vulva". Thought this should have been fight club material.

Was watching a cup game the other day. Mrs. Jass asked what's that humming sound? She thought there was something wrong with the TV's sound. The noise is REEEEAAAAAALY annoying.

 

[Homercidal]

I'll be watching with the sound turned off from now on. If I watch any more that is. I just can't stand it. It's not like I need the broadcaster's commentary anyway.

 

[Revvy]

I started posting this around the internets....

So FIFA and SA might consider banning them if they were thrown onto the pitch in anger, huh? I smell a twitter campaign in the making. Grass Roots activism at it's finest. Tweet your friends to tweet their friends to encourage folks at the World Cup matches to start throwing vuvuzelas onto the field. I'm sure there's thousands of soccer fans IN THE STADIUMS, who are just as annoyed with them as those of us attempting to watch the coverage on tv. They don't specify WHO throwing them would get them banned. They just don't want to see them on the field. Well, tweet your friends to start grabbing them and tossing them onto the field. Seeing the damn things raining down from the stands might send a message to those in charge that they are ruining the greatest international sporting event on the planet with their horns. Pass this on, and tweet your friends. Maybe we can get them banned by the end of the week, and still get to enjoy the next 3 weeks of soccer buzz free.

Pass this on.

 

[MeatyPortion]

Sounds like they released thousands of bees into the arena, each with its own microphone.

 

[Joker]

I agree they do get annoying. At first I thought he kinda cool, but then it never stopped. I too would like to hear the chants and cheering the not the...BBBRRRAAAAHAHHHHHAHHAHZHZHZHZH ZZZZZZZZZZZMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNN

[arturo7]

They don't bother me that much. After watching a few games you kinda get used to them. As for banning them I think that's bs. Their stadiums, their rules.

 

[Pommy]

They are ridiculously annoying and combined with Rooneys face make you wonder if HD and surround sound was a good investment, certainly considering what brewing gear it could have sponsored. On a serious not though its actually ruining the quality of football since the players cant hear each other or the manager during the match, imagine playing through that.

Nice symbolism.
