It is like the buzzing of a bee.  You tune it out.  But then I am not sitting in the stands, nor do I think the devuvuzelator would help there.

If you like the Vuvuzela and hate football, you can also surf the web while listening to a Vuvuzela concert

Any support or troubleshooting for this?

 

I put the file on my desktop, click and get this popup box:

Error: Unable to start audio hook

 

Unable to load DLL "Devuvuzelator.dll': The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800736B1)

 

So that sucks.  The dll file pops up right there on the desktop beside the .exe, but for whatever reason it doesn't work.  Restarted the PC a few times but no dice.  Redownloaded the file to make sure it wasn't corrupted or something.

 

Running Windows XP on my laptop, service pack 3 and stuff.  Shouldn't be any problems.  Really wanted to use this to watch some games this week.

Dunno which will be worse....the noise of those horns....

Yesterday the Florida marlins handed out 15,000 vuvuzela's to the crowd.. It was horrible.

"....or the bleating from the Kiwis as they do better in the cup than we do....."

I need a vuvuzela just to drown out the Kiwis.

Was that another sheep joke??? 

As for this vuvuzela???  Name sounds like a South American sex toy.
