A stupid YouTube question...

[LunarOrbit]

I don't use YouTube much, so maybe this is a stupid question.

What does the button that the blue arrow is pointing at do?



The other buttons show a description tag when you hover your mouse over them, but that one doesn't. And that button doesn't appear on all videos.

When I click it I get a bunch of noise that sounds like vuvuzelas buzzing. I've tried it on two different computers and get the same result. Is there something wrong with both computers, or is there a point to that button that I'm just not aware of?

Here is an example of a video with that button:

Does anyone else have this problem?

Okay, nevermind... it really is a vuvuzela button.

Bzzzzzz: YouTube Gets A Vuvuzela Button (Seriously)

If there's one thing the world needs, it's more vuvuzelas.

I like that YouTube has a sense of humour... when everyone else is trying to filter out the vuvuzela they are adding it in. But I probably wasted 10 whole minutes trying to figure out if something was wrong with the audio on my computer.

I thought maybe that button was for secondary audio tracks (like DVDs use for director commentaries or alternate languages) and wondered why it was being distorted.

If ever there was a "Do Not Push This Button" button...

You are not the only person to hear vuvuzelas and think something was wrong.
