I know how you feel… I was watching some of the games and the horns were unbearable.
It was like a constant annoying buzzing in your ear that lasted the ENTIRE MATCH.
It’s a good thing I like Football enough to watch even with that white noise in the background…
It’s all a party! \o/
You nailed it- no matter what happens in the game, the vuvuzela noise is constant. In fact, thousands of them honking at the same time end up sounding like a swarm of flies… I don’t know what that says about humans in the macro scale…
Although you could occasionally hear other things; in the UK-US match, some people playing the UK anthem with trumpets, half-buried in the swarming noise.
Unless you were in England watching the games on ITV. Viewers there got a rather nasty surprise:

The dread vuvuzela.

I don’t even watch soccer (or football to the rest of the world), but I was curious about this horn that people were blowing at the World Cup. Suffice it to say, and pardon my French, but it is F-ing annoying.
You know, even though i dont watch soccer(or the word for it in yer country) i still find their sound irritating, if not funny. Ther’s a tv show here in Brazil where some of their guys traveled to S. Africa and started to annoy some guys from argentina with them. Hell of fun. Not to mention they also played pranks on mexicans with them. They rubbed the tip of the vuvuleza on a jar of peppers and asked them to blow it. I loled very hard.
So, it is just the way they are used that makes them annoying, not the vuvuzela in itself.
i’m pleased to report that the “vuvuzela” doesn’t affect me at all, as i don’t follow soccer/football, not even the u.s. version of “football” which is a different game entirely.
oh god, THIS XD rofl
I’m watching the next one with the TV muted and subtitles turned on
Aaaahahaha XD
Ja hey, this is very true. No matter what’s happening on the field, the good old v’zelas are blaring away non stop.
I consider this a “trial by fire” for all those people from overseas who spend their lives endlessly lecturing others about “intercultural tolerance” even tho they live in a monocultural society. Think you’re pretty tolerant? OK, then swing on by the R of SA and spend 90 min’s in a soccer stadium. Remember, you’re not allowed to complain! This is just our culture after all! *innocent smile* ^.^
So True. This is pretty much the definition of obnoxiousness.
And here I was thinking something’s wrong with me.
some one remembers this words
“My tip for the winning team of the World Cup is Spain. Spain does not only have some of the best individual players, but they also work together brilliantly as a team, as can be seen by their Euro 2008 title and their impressive record during the World Cup qualification round. They won all 10 games in their group, which included such strong teams as Bosnia and Turkey.”
I dont remember a single team that won the cup after losing their FIRST game
after all, that was big big shock. Best game since Germany Vs Australia.
PD: in an interview after Chile vs Honduras averyone was complaining against the God damn Vuvuzelas!
Well the vuvuzela sound can be filtered out with basic sound-editing software. The German Blog Surfpoeten (use google to translate the text) shows how. With a halfway good soundcard you could filter the sound out in realtime i guess. Sadly this trick does not work with the people at public viewing places – which stole my sleep the last time.
Being from the U.S. I’m not very familiar with football or the vuvuzela; but we have our own curse, the wiggily-wavy noodles that people insist on shaking during baseball games. You may be able to filter out the sound of the vuvuzela, but you can’t not look at that annoying wavy things in the crowd when the pitcher is taking their dear sweet time winding up the pitch.
In the long run I think that the vuvuzelas would get to me faster; they sell them at the town fair every year and all the little kids must not be left without one.
Haha, right on the money.
I’m utterly surprised at how much hate this thing is getting. I mean, I sit through the entire game, watching the game, listening to the game, caring about the game, and not the noise.
Seriously, although my dad complains about it, I don’t care. It doesn’t affect me. Granted I believe that those people there probably are affected by it alot. I’d probably hate it too if I were there.
But I’m very surprised I’m hearing complaints from people who aren’t even there, and not enough from those there. :/
Remember that the people in there have no interesting in posting those things in internet, They are there to enjoy not to complain (but as I said, in the interview the Chilean Fans in africa said that they hated those things)
Well I pray Chile Wins against Suiza and España (zwitzerland and spain) cause if we got second in our block we play against Brazil, and Chilean players have a Trauma with Brazil (a.k.a “we are going to die!”) But Spain is the hell of a Team and Zwitserland are smart and tricky (doing one gol and defending was brilliant against spain)
Oi, I thought those horns were dutch only? Oh god I hope they arn’t, or else I’m so emberassed for you guys having to wear that unbearable sound all day, I hate it too. People walk around with them on the streets here.
One word: Tuba
I don’t get what you are all talking about. Ever since i was little theres been those horns in football matches. It feels uncomfortable watching them with out the blaring horns.
…could be a Mexican thing though.
Haha, so true! I’m with those who don’t mind the noise, all soccer matches are noisy anyway. My wife can’t stand it, she thinks it sounds like a swarm of flying insects. But for me, since it’s a constant noise it is easier to tune it out. It would be different if it were a coordinated burst of sound every now and then.
vuvuzella XD lols
You know that they are selling vuvuzela music CD called “vuvuzella hits”, and it’s a DOUBEL CD pack.
They sound like BEES!!!
It’s going to be finish of mine day, however before finish I am reading this great paragraph to increase my
know-how.
What’s up colleagues, how is the whole thing, and what you desire to say on the topic of this piece of writing,
in my view its really amazing for me.
