Vuvuzela

This soccer season, denoising the noise from the vuvuzela has become very popular, as many fans find the noise from this instrument distracting from the game. In this example, we analyze the vuvuzela spectrum and identify its fundamental and first few harmonic frequencies. We then use parametric... Platforms: Matlab

MuteVuvuzela v1.0 - the first software for Ms Windows that filters vuvuzela noise in football translations. The software can work with any external audio source, like a TV-Set or Satellite receiver. MuteVuvuzela price is $9.95 for individual use and $199 for use commercial use (sport-bars,... Platforms: Windows

The sound denoising algorithm is based on the popular spectral subtraction technique. Based on the spectrum of the vuvuzela sound, this denoising technique simply computes an antenuation map in the time-frequency domain. Then, the audio signal is restored by computing the inverse STFT. See [1-3]... Platforms: Matlab

The list of noise sources is long, but since the soccer world cup has begun it is clearly dominated by the Vuvuzelas. Their deafening noise even renders a TV broadcast an acoustic challenge. An algorithm which has been developed at the institute is now able to reliably suppress the disturbing... Platforms: Mac
