		<description>Someone please stop the horns! I tried to give the World Cup a chance, but I&#039;d even turn off the Superbowl if there was the same annoying background noise.</description>

		<description>Whatttt? http://www.antivuvuzelafilter.com/

Unbelievable, these people are charging for this: for an mp3 that people don&#039;t even know how or where to play? People are playing it through headphones and then complaining about it not working!

Absurdddd. This is like, carnival walnut shells &amp; marble type scam territory. It comes with some software, too.

This is more in the right direction:
http://vuvuzelafiltering.com/

Kudos to those guys. Listen to their audio clips!

You need to get the sound from your television and then get some software that will invert the waveform at the correct frequencies and then play both sound waves **in real time** -- the principle behind active noise cancellation depends on the waveforms being matched up as precisely as possible.

A 45 minute mp3? Wow.

I can&#039;t believe it is 2010 and the age of Google and you can still sell junk to people. Sad.

(Rant: A bigger story? This German 29 year old &quot;recording and mixing engineer&quot; diluting the market / talent pool of legit audio engineers. Nowadays a kid with zero skills and zero real world knowledge buys a laptop and a microphone and calls himself an engineer cause he can use the presets on the bundled audio software. People pay these kids for their &quot;services&quot;. It&#039;s really sad.

Rant off. Sorry.)</description>

		<description>We didn&#039;t even need an app for that.  In the assorted detritus of my closet, I found one I had picked up in St Patrick&#039;s Day in Savannah almost a decade ago.  Green, plastic, and loud. My husband has been toting it around for the last few days, but he&#039;s only allowed to make noise on it if someone scores a goal.

Most interestingly, mine says &quot;Made in the USA.&quot;</description>
