Might be worth a pop, advice c+ped from the following website.
http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?from=rss_Top%20Stories&set_id=1&click_id=13&art_id=vn20100615123212158C250624

A user on social networking site Twitter has posted simple instructions for resetting your television's sound equaliser - a move that will drown out the drone of vuvuzelas without muting other sounds.

The instructions are:

# Enter the sound settings for your TV and find the equaliser.

# Drop the 300Hz channel (which Samsung TVs have, second from left), and raise the adjacent levels.

# Save as a custom set-up (if you can).

Eric Smit, the assistant manager at Samsung Store in Canal Walk, did a spot test and found that it worked on both low-end and high-end TVs.

I like the idea of sitting your laptop near the TV speakers and using phase cancellation to reduce the noise of the vuvuzelas.

the Vuvuzela is in Bflat below middle C with a fundamental of 233Hz, therefore reducing any channels around 200-300Hz will do the trick to varying degrees

Is there a frequency that Andy Townsend and Edgar Davids specifically use?

Monotone droning about nothing in particular. Exact tone is X-Pro flat.

Today in Africa someone dies every 3 seconds.

Just think, by the 90th minute that's 1800 fewer Vuvuzelas.
