World Cup

Options
OK, not a vent about the World Cup...

Watched 2 games. What can be done about these darn horns? Sounds like 3 million bumble bees buzzing around.

Reckon BBC/ITV will find a way to drown it out with white noise?

    I disagree. Technology can and should cancel this out. Not sure watching World Cup games with the volume down is an option. Seems to lack the atmosphere.

    apparently the frequency of the horn is the same as some vowels in human speech so if they filter out the horns the commentary would sound very odd.
    well i read that somewhere the other day.

    I read in a paper they will not be getting rid of the horns as it is part of african culture

    It's an African world cup, with the integral sounds of african football. I must say, I hate them as well. You could always try https://www.vuvuzela.fm/
