BBC Develops Online Gadget To Tune Out Grunting At Wimbledon
The BBC apparently has had enough of the grunting coming from Wimbledon and created a new online gadget that allows users to turn eliminate the animal-esque noises.
The BBC has launched a noise-reduction program called Wimbledon NetMix that enables Internet users to increase commentary volume, while reducing unnecessary sound effects. It’s a simple audio mixing slider that the BBC has said has received positive feedback and that it will consider using it during other sporting events and on its iPlayer.
The news comes after the head of Wimbledon, Ian Ritchie, publicly voiced his displeasure with grunting, claiming it was spoiling the game.
