only? prob not. however id say you are in the minority

Just sample the noise to create a noise print and feed your signal through a NR circuit to chop it out. It's utterly ridiculous that the broadcasters are not doing this yet! If I have the capability to do this in a B-movie studio why don't they? Is there some law that prevents them from altering the audio?

It certainly does make it notenjoyable to watch. Feels like I'm in a damn hornets nest.

Yep

 

[spidey07]

Appropriate...

the thing is fifa doesn't have to do shit, leave the horns in the stands. the TV broadcasters should simply be filtering the sound out, its really fing simple to do that

i enjoy some of the crowd noise like the stadium going ballistic and cheering when a goal is scored. blocking out all noise except the commentators will take away from that. Besides, the cheering noise cant make it to the mics over those annoying vuvuzela noise. I really really hope FIFA bans them. argh

Noise filters can produce some screwy results

No. If you can stand that buzzing noise, you're the one in the minority

People tend to get loud and horny over watching men run around on a field kicking their balls...

Nice.

Seriously, though, these horns are EVERYWHERE and getting really annoying.

"You find that they emanate from the horn which was used by our forefathers to call meetings," he said. "As our guests, please embrace our culture, please embrace the way we celebrate.

they were invented in mexico in the 1960s. so that's about as fake as south carolina's having the confederate flag on their capital building "since time immemorial," er, the 1960s.

Besides, the horns are ingrained in South Africa's history, [organizing committee spokesman Rich] Mkhondo said.

So was Apartheid.

I want to hear the commentary, strategy discussion and history lessons (but without the hornets' nest sound).

He went on to ask, "Would you want to see a ban on the annoying and stupid fan traditions in your country?"

Fixed and yes.

On the radio this morning, the guy doing the sports recap had the horn noise blaring behind him. Pretty funny because they completely blocked him out.

It is very annoying, but I can't see banning it.
