And although the buzzing can be annoying on tv, in the stadiums themselves it creates a fantastic atmosphere. People do call-and-response, and different rhythms, and one local musician has even created what he calls a Vuvuzela Orchestra, with each vuvu tuned to a different note. You really need to be there to appreciate it. The most fun of all is blowing one – although I admit that I had to wear earplugs to the game.
This is a cool little video that gives you a better appreciation of what it’s like in the crowds. Who wouldn’t want to be part of that?
This isn’t so much about music, more about annoying, but of course there’s an iPhone vuvuzela app:

Even understanding the point behind it, it’s still incredibly annoying.
It monotone consistency just takes the fan interaction out of the game. Nothing is more fun than the cheers and jeers from the crowd, or singing and dancing after a goal, but the incessant buzz floods all rhythm and excitement. It’s upsetting in my opinion, but maybe I’m just being ignorant.

Ah, those wacky Germans.
You must like listening to sounds at 125 decibels.
I am sure you would appreciate the vuvuzela orchestra at the Stanlet Cup playoffs.
This will be the worst ever World Cup.
