How to Make the Vuvuzela Less Annoying: Apparently one of the reasons the vuvuzela offends the ear drums is because the standard version produces a note somewhere between A and B flat.

I was trying to find a home for this, too. Not about vuvuzelas, but lots of strange vowel noises.

Next FIFA will ban the vuvuzelas. Clearly they are affecting the referees' ability to perform at their best.

No, they'll just ban replays of the vuvuzelas.

This tends to make them much less annoying, too.

A ceaseless monotone of any note or pitch is pretty offending after a while.

Yankee fans don't need Vuvuzelas to be annoying ...
