A vuvuzela is a blowing horn commonly blown by fans at football matches. The instrument emits a loud monotone. At the FIFA World Cup in South Africa vuvuzela's are blown from the beginning to the end of every match. During the event many competitors have criticised and complained about the noise caused by the vuvuzela horns.
Although the vuvuzela is an emblem of hope and unity for many in South Africa, they are also controversial. They have been associated with permanent noise-induced hearing loss, and commentators have described the sound as 'annoying'.
And complaints from television audiences all over the world are coming in by the thousands. South African organising chief Danny Jordaan is considering a ban of the vuvuzela during matches 'if there are grounds to do so.'
