Vuvuzela: the thrills and the tricks Review with images 12 of 12 Ciao Users found the following review helpful
Rating from donnaheff 3 Stars ()

Advantages just perfect for the world cup

Disadvantages it is too loud

The vuvuzela I heard is a part of the south african culture. It is a plastic horn like or trumpetlike device that when blown produces a lot of noise that researchers have put at about 120 decibels.
History though has it that the origins of this instrument is from mexico.
It is about two feet long made of plastic and is not of a high quality so be careful in handling it

It alongside the diski dance have come to be associated with the world cup. A lot of people have put so many arguments for and against the use of the vuvuzela. such arguments include those put forward by the players that instead of the cheers from their supporters, they hear a sharp irritating noise from the vuvuzela which impedes their performance on the pitch. Soime people have also complained that the noise produced from it is deafening.
Those supporting it are of the view that since it is aouth african world cup, then the cultures and life of the south africans should be respected.


South African authorities had threatened to ban the use of this sound producers and even fifa has been petitioned by several federations. Most sporting federations have banned the use of the vuvuzelas within their stadiums.

In as much as this is a celebration of football, I think people should be allowed for this season to enjoy the beautiful game the best way possible as this only comes once every 4 years but it should be noted that governments around the world should put measures in place to curb the use of this noisemakers after the world cup.

    I think that anything that makes players lose concentration should be used with caution . . . the drum playing during the cricket matches made it hard to hear commentary easily despite the noise-proofing; I think the buzzing might well be similar . . . I wonder did Germany practice buzzing as well as the funny new ball in advance? . . . ♥ jesi ♥

    In principle I like them, but the noise can get irritating during games.
