"The vuvuzela... produces a loud, distinctive monotone (B♭3) note."

"The typical pitch of a vuvuzela is said to be B flat below middle C."

"Vuvuzelas, the now famous South African traditional trumpet, generates a single tone at a frequency of 230 Hz, roughly corresponding to a b-flat."

"It's the length of the horn that determines the note, in this case a fundamental B flat." - Sean Kierman, South African College of Music

There is a piano in front of me and the noise that is coming from the TV is a d sharp.

Of course you do not play the piano, do you? You do not play guitar, do you? You do not play the drums, do you? You read too much from the internet.

Get yourself to the piano, when you find one and play a b flat. then come back and tell me that is the tone you hear.

I have changed my mind, it is an E flat

You're both right.

There are two types, one at Bb and the other at D#

On this vid there's a scene where both appear.

If I was to write music for it, then I'd choose the key of Bb maj. as that is what you normally do for wind instruments as most are home keyed in Bb maj.

I found an audio recording of a single vuvuzela being played. Then I fired up GarageBand and recorded several seconds of B♭3 using the "Classic Organ" instrument. They were clearly the same note.

Just to be sure, I then ran both recordings through an FFT spectrum analyser. Both showed a primary frequency centred around the 228 - 232 Hz range, which is apparently B♭3.

HTH.

You do not have a piano do you?
