Der Vuvuzela-Filter: Remove that annoying hum from World Cup games


If you’ve watched any of the World Cup this year you’ll have noticed the endless, high-pitched drone of the Vuvuzela. It’s basically a really annoying horn.

Anyway, a German engineer has created a Vuvuzela Filter that takes the ambient noise and removes it from an audio track. It’s pretty complex – and in German – but if I watched soccer at all I’d love this to be an in-line hardware box for the removal of noise.

Sadly, it’s not a “plug-in” per se but a Logic setting so you really can’t de-vuvu stuff as you watch it. Check out the project here.
