Vuvuzela since the beginning, even before the 2010 World Cup starting in June, has sparked controversy. Similar brass trumpets that have a big voice that can disrupt communication regarded coach with the squad on the field.
Vuvuzela, a trumpet made from a plastic can trigger a hazard. The effect will be very harmful because it can cause deafness. Thus the results of research that was published in the largest daily newspaper in South Africa, Sunday Times. With sound levels above 100 decibels would be potentially damage the hearing when rung continuously for 15 minutes. Fans are advised to leave the stadium looking for an environment that was not too noisy.
Mentioned if the sound generated by the vuvuzela can reach 127 decibels. Higher than the chainsaw that 'only' 100 decibels or lawn mowers (90 decibels). While trumpeter who use gas cylinders are also only measuring 123.6 decibels, referee's whistle (121.8 decibels) or drum (122 decibels).
Please do not let this come to America! I have trouble with everyday noises since I stopped smoking (my sense of hearing is elevated). Sometimes when I am watching TV and either certain voices or a person speaking fast continuosly without taking a breath starts to sound like a sqwauk box so I mute my TV so I think these things would make me crackup and maybe go postal...oh but wait...I would never go to a live game anyway...too many people in one place...something else I don't like...crowds!
