Commentators have variously described the sound of vuvuzelas as "annoying" and "satanic" and compared it with "a stampede of noisy elephants", "a deafening swarm of locusts", "a goat on the way to slaughter", "a giant hive full of very angry bees", and "a duck on speed".
評論員對巫巫茲拉的聲音作出了各種各樣的描述：除了「煩人」、「像魔鬼一般」之外，還把它比作「一群嘈吵的大象」、「一群嗡嗡狂叫的蝗蟲」、「一隻準備給屠宰的山羊」、「一個裝滿發狂的蜜蜂的巨大蜂巢」、「一隻吃了搖頭丸的鴨子」等等。
