Das Ganze war ja ein Marketing-Gag, mit dem die Südafrikaner 2004 zur Vergabesitzung nach Zürich zogen, um ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal zu kreieren. Sie wollten sich bei den Mitgliedern im entscheidenden Gremium der Fifa im Gedächtnis verankern.
The author, who has written a whole book about fan culture in football, says that the Vuvus were just a marketing trick, used by the South Africans at FIFA's conference in Zurich 2004, in order to impress with one unique feature, to makw FIFA deciding in favour of SA.

He also points out - from a music-psychologic perspective - that the Vuvu is what in science is called a "distrctor", meaning that it has no intention to form a rythm or melodic interchange between sounds, but that it's only purprose is to interrupt any other signal by overloading it with "white noise". Even comparable instruments historians know for Africa and the Kelts, that produced just one single tone, too, were used in exchnage with other instruments as well, to produce different sound sequences, rythm, variation.

the Vuvu is just white noise. Indeed.
