This was the culprit. Stupid vuvuzela.
-------------------------------------------
A stadium/blowing horn. Vuvuzelas have been controversial. They have been associated with permanent noise-induced hearing loss, a possible safety risk when spectators can't hear evacuation announcements, potentiality spreading colds and flu germs on a greater scale than coughing or shouting[.
Commentators have described the sound as "annoying" and compared it with "a stampede of noisy elephants, a deafening swarm of locusts and "a goat on the way to slaughter".
-------------------------------------------
FIFA originally considered banning the vuvuzelas in the run-up to the World Cup, after scientists warned of hearing damage among the spectators and both players and announcers expressed fears they would drowned out by the trumpets’ drone. South African officials eventually convinced FIFA to drop the proposed ban, arguing that they were an essential part of the South African soccer experience.
-------------------------------------------
FIFA should do something about this. The stupid supporters were blowing those f*cking horns like madcows and we’re only done with 2 games. 62 more to come for God sake! I’ll be deaf by the time they reach final zzz.
