Elsewhere: Vuvuzelas to be quieted during World Cup broadcasts

The constant and annoying buzzing sound of the vuvuzelas in the background of every World Cup match has prompted the company that provides the feed to broadcasters around the world to adjust it’s audio filters to try and bring down the sound.

The South African horns have become the talk of the World Cup, with some commentators admitting the swarming bees sound is driving them crazy.

The BBC is even thinking about having a second audio broadcast available that would be vuvuzela free:

The BBC has received 220 complaints and, while it is committed to reflecting the atmosphere in the stadiums on its main coverage, it is believed to be looking into providing a so-called “clean” feed that would strip out the majority of crowd noise, via the red button.

When I first turned on the USA vs. England match, I thought there was something wrong with the audio because of all the buzzing.

UPDATE: Now you can view any website as if you were at the 2010 World Cup.
