The Brazilian Games organization introduced caxirola , a traditional audio emitting tool , considered the official tool for the 2014 World Cup. This product was invented by musician Carlinhos Brown, designed sounds more pleasant than vuvuzela.

According to UPI news agency, the researchers asked 22 volunteers to test and find caxirola sounds do not harm the listener's ears.

The sound pressure level is compared to a normal conversation. Caxirola is said to be 45 decibels lower than the sound created by vuvuzela, which means that it needs 30,000 caxirola to create a 1 vuvuzela sound.

However, other harmful " caxirola" may be unexpected by researchers. For example, recently, extreme fans in a football game in Brazil, disagreeing with the referees' decision, simultaneously threw caxirola into the grass.
