JOHANNESBURG — The loud trumpets called vuvuzelas will continue to be allowed for the time being at the World Cup, despite complaints from some international broadcasters, players and fans, the tournament’s organizing committee said Monday.

On Sunday, Danny Jordaan, the chief World Cup organizer, told the British Broadcasting Corporation that use of the trumpets was “something we are evaluating on an ongoing basis.” He said he would consider banning the horns “if there are grounds to do so.”

Some broadcasters have been complaining since last June’s Confederations Cup here that the vuvuzelas are too disruptive to the international television feeds, subduing announcers’ voices and irritating viewers.

Patrice Evra, France’s captain, complained to Agence France-Presse that the horns played a role in his team’s lackluster 0-0 draw with Uruguay on Friday, saying, “We can’t hear one another on the pitch because of them.”

Evra also said that the horns were disrupting the French players’ sleep and awakening them as early as 6 a.m. at the team hotel.
