Horrific World Cup Sound...

[Rad Bromance]

That awful bee swarming sound...

Can someone explain it to me? Is it some kind of inside joke for Football/Soccer fans? Many YouTube videos have a little ball you can click to hear it over the audio of the video you're watching, some other board I post on had it playing on it, and the other day Adult Swim had it playing in place of the actual audio of their advertisements at random. It's possibly the worst sound I've ever heard and literally has me grinding my teeth in seconds.

So, discuss that terrible sound here!

It's a vuvuzela. It's a loud annoying, phallic-shaped noise maker and it has a two v's and a z in it's name. No wonder it's popular on the internet.

Omg you nailed it! IT SOUNDS LIKE A BEE SWARM! That's what I said to everyone else in Sweden that it sounded like. It's so annoying! They ruined everything! And they're still ruining it! The players can't hear eachother let alone the referees, the commentators can't hear themselves speak, and us watching can't hear anything else other than that frustrating sound. They should be banned, those vuvuzelas. BANNED! You can barely hear the crowd cheering on anymore (the cheering makes it all that more awesome). They ruined it!! Argh!

Euurgh some kid had one on our school playing field and it drove me nuts - all I wanted to do was laze in the sun and at the least block out the sound of kids shouting and screaming. Next thing I hear is a lone..v something or other and it alone is enough to drive me up the fence. If I could have found that little smurfer I would've made sure that thing never made another noise again, and he would feel pain.

A lot of it.

Vuvuzela's are annoying but they're a big part of celebrating in South Africa. I think that it's much like how clackers or whatever they're called used to be a big part of english football. In the past you would often hear entire stadiums spinning these around so much so that all you'd hear is a massive "clack clack clack clack clack" roar. So just think sure we might have removed the clackers from our games and in time hopefully South Africans will leave the Vuvuzela alone at home where it belongs. Until then however we're going to have to just suffer it.

Basically, South Africa sucks.

There were vuvuzela(s) at my football matches yesterday. Reffing with that going on is smurfing hard.

To be fair, when the players at the world cup complained about the ball I laughed at them because what they should have complained about was that smurfing noise! How can you even think when you're listening to that?

Exactly.

So far it's nice to see the England fans in the stadium out yelling/singing the vuvuzela even if they're an anoyance in the background of the vuvuzela.

[Fujiko]

Yeah.

I am so damned glad I don't c are about soccer. I wouldn't have been able to watch the matches with those smurfing vuvus.
