Many people are wondering what is this unique and strange sound while watching FIFA World cup Football in South Africa The sound is just like some rainy insects making sound in hills and jungles. At times it is very irritating.

This hooter type strange sound is of an instrument known as VUVUZELA It is a blowing horn also know as Stadium Horn The other name of VUVUZELA is Lepatata

The length of this stadium horn is around 2.13 and is made of plastic There is one more instrument which is similar to Vuvuzela and is used in Brazil. It is known as Corneta in Brazil

Vuvuzela is used from ages. Earlier it was used by the villagers when there used to be any community meeting. The instrument was blown to call the villagers to attend the meeting. The villagers used to make Vuvuzela with KUDU Horn Kudu is an animal(Antelop).

Vuvuzela now is widely used in Football and Soccer matches in South Africa Since the FIFA World cup is being hosted by South Africa this time we are hearing this sound during live telecast of the matches.

Many companies are making this instrument in South Africa and there is a controversy and fight over the patents for this blow horn.
