The BBC has received 545 complaints about the sound of the African vuvuzela horns during its World Cup coverage. Now the corporation is testing methods of filtering out the insistent drone of the vuvuzelas on its red button service. A stadium ban on the plastic horns, which can reach 130 decibels, has already been ruled out.

However, acoustic experts say it is impossible to cut out the sound of the horns without affecting the commentary or crowd noise. Sounds like earplugs for the final then.

At Riskdisk we’re sorry to say that we can’t block out the noise of the vuvuzelas either, but we can put a block on that other racket – those companies trying to gain credit when they really should by paying bills.

We’re blowing our own trumpet here, but our online credit checks and FREE Hypermonitoring service will certainly cut out the worst offenders. Call us to test the service or click here for a FREE trial.
