CRAP !!
A vuvuzela is a long horn which, when blown, emits a loud single note. It came to particular prominence during the Football World Cup in South Africa in 2010. The vuvuzela is a traditional instrument of South African origin, and is firmly associated with their football matches. There was some controversy at the 2010 World Cup over the noise they produced, although after some discussion they were permitted. Their use, however, was subsequently banned at some future sporting events because of health concerns about their noise levels causing possible serious hearing problems.
