I know feck all about acoustics mind.

I have been using the mute button. Works like a charm.

I don't think it's an easy sound to filter out at source in a useful way because the range of frequencies involved is fairly similar to the human voice.

It sounds more like a swarm of flies round a bloated corpse.

Those crusaders looked a bit unimpressed with life too.

The authorities are getting complaints from people in the stadium. I can put up with it on TV, but I'd hate to be there.

Personally I really hate them, such an annoying noise.

Ah yes.........the Brazilian female fans.........now they produce the sort of horn we ALL like! Mmmmmmmmm...........

For me they are very reminiscent of the horns that the Germans used to blow continuously back in the 70s and 80s. They soon become background noise, and are infinitely preferable to listening to the banal comments of most of the commentators in any case.

At least they drown out the sound of the opening bars of The Great Escape being played again and again and again and again. And again.
