Manged to reduce this slightly by turning teh volume right down on the rear and front channels of my surround system, so the only audio is via the centre channel. Can still hear it, but least its not all around me. Arrrgggh.

I lasted about 4.3 seconds before I was like WTF is that noise.

Turned over after a couple of mins, just pointless..

It is possible to notch the noise out in the end, but it is a flaming nuisance. Why can't they just watch the play rather than spend all that time making such a ridiculous noise.

The organisers should be aware that it will turn the TV spectators off from watching and that might lose them some wonga in the end.

Like Flighty says your brain filters it out after a while, I actually nodded off at half time and woke up to see the Frogs poor display against Uruguay before dropping off again, a vuvuzla wouldn't make a good alarm clock !!

Just World Cup atmosphere IMHO. Only thing I struggled to hear in the Argie match just now was the refs whistle.
