“Komentistoj diversmaniere priskribis la sonon de vuvuzelo kiel "ĝena" kaj "satana" kaj komparis ĝin kun "arego da elefantoj", "surdiga akridosvarmo", "kapro survoje al buĉiĝo", "giganta abelujo plena de koleraj abeloj", kaj "amfetamine drogita anaso".”
Commentators have variously described the sound of vuvuzelas as "annoying" and "satanic" and compared it with "a stampede of noisy elephants", "a deafening swarm of locusts", "a goat on the way to slaughter", "a giant hive full of very angry bees", and "a duck on speed".
