:?going to have to switch the footy off there doing my head in!

It sounds like a swarm of angry killer bees. I couldn't cope with 4 weeks of that noise!!

you switch off after a while. or maybe the football made me switch off. the vuvuzelas were better than the game

Washing the bike tonight,some kid on the street had some sort of horn, and he kept blowing it repeatedly,finally went looking for him,he turned out to be a 50 plus year old fat bloke in an england shirt,and a can of lager in his other hand

Get a life,youre not a child.

A couple of the neighbours have them. I just got the airzound out! 😆

maybe we should summon an execution squad for all those bearing this resentful din-making toys!

wouldn't it be possible for the broadcaster to remove/reduce the sound of the horns by stripping it out of the sound feed in some way? (I'm imagining some sort of high-tech graphic equalizer that could "turn down" that frequency or whatever it's called).

I likes em… 🙂
Proper tribal/carnival atmosphere.

They're the sound of stupidity.

They're the sound of stupidity.

I wonder if noise cancelling headphones would help.

I like it in a nostalgic way. It reminds me of the Euro games in the seventies ( ie 74 WC ) where the noise of air can horns would be ever present behind the sound of Coleman or Hugh Johns.

The only thing I don't like about them is the way they make every game sound the same which is a shame because lots of the teams – Brazil, Argentina, England, Korea, Italy have fans that bring a unique sound to their games and this is being lost a bit.

I agree – the atmosphere you get with sounds like those really old computer games where the crowd noise remains constant throughout – it doesn't convey the excitement of the fans.
