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". Les commentateurs ont décrit le son des vuvuzelas comme "épuisant" et "satanique" et l'ont comparé avec "un troupeau d'éléphants en furie", "un amas assourdissant de sauterelles", "une chèvre allant à l'abattoir", "une gigantesque ruche remplie d'abeilles en furie", et à un "canard drogué aux amphétamines".
