you get what you buy
i just found the link did not see a price
but if you want it done in real time that is one of the few choices
the eq device would help if you had one in hardware
or real time software to do it
hopefully a 31 band parametric version
personally i will turn the sound off or
just not watch
FIFA said they would not do anything
whcih is ridiculous
those things are 92dB spl at the horn 1m from the person
add up 100.000 of those in the stadium you got about equivalent 170 dB in the stands aimed at the field
and about 140-150dB at midfield
probably less since i simplified by assuming them as a few point source equivalents instead of integrating them ala calculus as a distributed source
but
probably still 100-120dB at midfield or maybe more
for somebody surrounded by these things
their ears would be getting a solid 100-110+ dB constantly
its not just annoying
the sound level is dangerous
i would love to see some folks sue FIFA for damage to their hearing

That's quite an impressive demo - and could be done with free software (but for Audacity, not in real time).

It's not FIFA making the noise - it's the fans that are making themselves deaf.
