The company that provides the broadcasting feed for the World Cup is doubling its audio filters to reduce the constant blaring buzz of vuvuzelas.
Host Broadcast Services said Tuesday it also is encouraging the various rights holders to replace their commentators' microphones with its headsets.
Those are more effective at filtering out crowd noise, HBS said.
While the measures will mute some of the atmosphere at the games, HBS said it increased the level of the ball mics to provide some balance.
