Am I the only one irritated by the Vuvuzelas at the Confederations Cup?

Please don’t get me wrong, I like the vuvuzelas played in moderation. What I find sickening is the continuous buzzing sound that goes on forever and ends up being too noisy and uninspiring. Pray that you don't end up sitting next to one of those over-enthusiastic blowers who struggle to keep it quiet for a few minutes during the singing of the national anthems.
I’d rather we sing shosholoza or any other songs, just like we do at all our social gatherings. I suggest that SAFA and FIFA consider giving drums and other instruments to the passionate soccer fans that are always shown on tv so that we can do more singing and dancing. The rest of the people who can’t sing can blow the vuvuzelas.
