Anti-Vuvuzela Filter!

I don't know about you, but I don't like the B flat drone of the Vuvuzela. Some people have come to love it. However there is apparently now an antidote.

The Telegraph reports:
"For just £2.45, armchair fans can download a 45-minute audio clip which purports to cancel out the ear-splitting din of the traditional South African stadium horns during televised matches...The anti-vuvuzela filter is the brainchild of Clemence Schlieweis, 29, a recording and mixing engineer from Munich in Germany. He sampled vuvuzelas from an early World Cup match and created an "inverse" sound wave with the same amplitude as the original, but with the peaks and troughs of the wave reversed. If the MP3 music file is played on a computer placed near television speakers during a game, Mr Schlieweis claims that the two sounds will effectively cancel each other out."

They warn that they haven't tried the aforementioned anti-vuvuzela filter...

Meanwhile, the BBC are considering the move to cut out the sound using their red button service, but are worried that this will also tune out the commentators' voices – apparently you won't be able to hear the vowel sound "e"!
