The BBC has received 220 complaints and, while it is committed to reflecting the atmosphere in the stadiums on its main coverage, it is believed to be looking into providing a so-called "clean" feed that would strip out the majority of crowd noise, via the red button.
That doesn't solve the problem imo. The problem is that the constant drone drowns out the crowd noise (on tv at least), which makes the game rather sterile to look at. I want to hear the crowd gathering behind the teams and getting excited over what goes on at the pitch. The vuvuzela drowns out the ebb and flow of the crowd noise, and makes it really hard to get into the game. It's not even clear who the drone is for...

I really have no problem with them being blown copiously for SA games if that's what South Africans are into, but having a constant drone during Holland-Denmark for instance makes no sense at all.
