"The typical pitch of a vuvuzela is said to be B flat below middle C."
"Vuvuzelas, the now famous South African traditional trumpet, generates a single tone at a frequency of 230 Hz, roughly corresponding to a b-flat."
"It's the length of the horn that determines the note, in this case a fundamental B flat." - Sean Kierman, South African College of MusicComment

Of course you do not play the piano, do you? You do not play guitar, do you? You do not play the drums, do you? You read too much from the internet.
Get yourself to the piano, when you find one and play a b flat. then come back and tell me that is the tone you hear.Comment

Just to be sure, I then ran both recordings through an FFT spectrum analyser. Both showed a primary frequency centred around the 228 - 232 Hz range, which is apparently B♭3.

Originally posted by NickFitz View PostI found an audio recording of a single vuvuzela being played. Then I fired up GarageBand and recorded several seconds of B♭3 using the "Classic Organ" instrument. They were clearly the same note.
