It's the horn heard around the world, broadcast into living rooms and bars as people tune into the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The vuvuzela, a stadium horn popular with South African soccer fans, has become the symbol of this year's tournament, but not everyone is enjoying the festive instrument's loud sounds.
Some fans have called the noise annoying, especially while watching at home, and those closer to the action are concerned about potential hearing damage.
World Cup organizers are even considering a ban on the 127-decibel horn.
What do you think of the vuvuzela? Should it be banned from World Cup matches?
