Viva Diego !

Serioulsy speaking, canal+ in France has purchase a licence to remove the Vuvuzela noice. They have the exclusivity and it t working wery very well (you can hear again the noice from the supporters). Next time a match will be retransmitted on C+, switch to another channel diffusing the same match, and compare both.

I think they just reduce the volume, so the volume of the supporters and this noise are both lower.
Some other channels do this.

The best option is to remove the stadium noise altogether, and put the commentary noise, and add to it some noise from another match that is NOT played in africa

Re: World Cup's Vuvuzela

Not really. They are using an algorythm which neutralize the vuvuzela frequency. They have the exclusivity of this technology (they protected it). They made a lot of ads on this !
Other channel are using same mic has on F1, the noice is only reduced in this case.

I don't think it is that difficult, it has to be some sort of filter or so. Given some time, I think I could design such a filter. But it is easier for me to turn down the volume.

Re: World Cup's Vuvuzela

they have filters running on sky here too - working pretty good imho
way better than the normal vuvu-audio.

An Italy fan blows a vuvuzela prior to the match between Italy and Paraguay at Green Point Stadium in Cape Town

There are even 'noisy' applications that run on ******'s android mobile phone software.

The virtual vuvuzelas come as it was revealed that the plastic horns could become a feature in the Premiert League next season.

A League spokesman told CNN: 'Nothing in our rules specifically prohibits musical instruments from being brought into grounds as these matters are dealt with at a club level.

'It will be down to stadium managers, in consultation with supporters groups, to determine what is appropriate.'

TV viewers could soon be able to cut out the annoying sound of the vuvuzela when they watch World Cup matches.

The BBC is thinking about the possibility of offering ‘vuvuzela free’ coverage via its red button after hundreds of complaints.



The BBC’s plans emerged after World Cup officials said yesterday that the vuvuzela will stay at the tournament, despite earlier claims that the horns could be banned.

Spokesman Rich Mkhondo said: ‘Vuvuzelas are here to stay and will never be banned. Look at them as part of our culture in South Africa to celebrate the 2010 FIFA World Cup.’

He said the noise is part of the fabric of football in Africa, similar to English rattles, the football flares of Italy, the air horns of Holland and the ticker tape that greets teams in South America.
But football fans in Britain are buying vuvuzelas at a rate of one every two seconds.
Some suppliers claimed the UK had been gripped by ‘vuvuzela fever.’

Sainsbury's sold 22,000 red vuvuzelas in 12 hours before England's game - one every two seconds. The supermarket chain has ordered 25,000 extra horns but thinks it may run out before Friday's game against Algeria.
Online retailer Amazon said sales of the horn had increased by 1,000 per cent.
Many fans have been surprised by the noise created by the £2 plastic horns – which are blasted by thousands of supporters during games – with some forced to wear ear plugs to combat the din.
To TV viewers the trumpets simply sound like a constant buzzing through 90 minutes of football.
Mr Mkhondo’s confirmation that vuvuzelas would continue to be allowed into World Cup stadia followed weekend reports that officials were considering banning the horns.

Yesterday the England Supporters’ Band backed the use of the vuvuzela, arguing that ‘when in Rome’ the local culture should be respected.
Sheffield-based trumpeter John Hemmingham – who leads the eight-man England orchestra which has not missed a game since 1996 – said the horns were a good thing.‘It’s the way South Africans express their joy and pleasure at the tournament being here,’ he said.
A recent survey found that the sound emitted by a vuvuzela was the equivalent to 127 decibels - louder than a drum's 122 decibels, or a referee's whistle at 121.8 decibels.
Vuvuzelas are modern spin-offs of traditional instruments made from spiralling kudu horns.
Van Schalkwyk said he decided to develop a plastic version after spotting the original versions of the horn being blown at games.

Gandalf man, you ruined my vuvuzela! Oh wait, no it's working! I don't think vuvuzelas are annoying although a friend of mine blew it into my ears and I almost went crazy
