world cup noise

I supose that all they got to blow their horn about!

lets have them here, wimbleldon soon, or what about darts, just as they are about to throw

I cant believe that people are asking for them to be banned... Imagine if they wanted to stop singing at the football when it comes back to the UK. And why would they want to stop singing you may ask yourself.... Well the are a certain amount of offensive words in the songs I know..

The horns do my head in, but they are a part of the game in Africa, and we have no place to ask for them to be banned becuase it spoils our enjoyment.. Who the f**k do the peoplpe think they are; asking for them to be banned.... If only you lot would of been quick enough to try to ban slavery or apartheid.

They should be banned it's not thier world cup it's ours, it's just hosted in South Africa. It's a ~~~~in racket and it takes away the atmosphere in the game. It's a million bees droning and there's no singing. It's certainly spoiled my enjoyment upto now. BTW this topic has nothing to do with slavery so let's keep it on topic.

Its not ours,, its everones... The world cup does not belong to anyone... Its free... You are right its hosted in South Africa, its their country, and in their stadiums with the majority of fans being African.

Thats what the Africans do at football matches, always have and always will. Its part of their culture. Who are we to dictate what they should or shouldnt do. As I said earlier, some people find the singing offensive, and you wouldn't want to stop singing now would you.

BBC receives 545 vuvuzela complaints over World Cup

The BBC has received 545 complaints about the sound of vuvuzela horns during its World Cup coverage.

The corporation is considering showing coverage that cuts out the noise of vuvuzelas on its red button service.

On Monday, World Cup organisers ruled out a stadium ban on the plastic horns, which can reach 130 decibels, following complaints from players and fans.

Experts say it is impossible to cut out the horns without affecting commentary and crowd noise.

The BBC says it has already "taken steps to minimise the noise".

It would sound unnatural

Institute of Acoustics president Trevor Cox on cutting vuvuzela noise
Can you block vuvuzelas?
Cup chiefs rule out ban
"If the vuvuzela continues to impact on audience enjoyment, we will look at what other options we can take to reduce the volume further," a spokeswoman said.

The BBC is considering cutting out some of the vuvuzela noise on the red button service but says a final decision has yet to be made.

On Monday, Trevor Cox, president of the Institute of Acoustics, told the BBC News website's Magazine that vuvuzelas were tuned to a similar frequency to speech tones.

If broadcasters tuned out it would dampen the commentators' voices, he said.

"It would sound really horrible to notch these out - if one coincides with the vowel sound e, you won't be able to hear the -es in the commentary. It would sound unnatural," he said.
