Using instruments is prohibited in basketball because they produce music (and, technically, a vuvuzeela is a type of trumpet, so it produces "music").

As to instruments being artificial noise makers, when's the last time you saw a trumpet make a sound by itself?
Neither do artificial instruments.

What about bull horn amplifiers (non electric)?
