Noise in Communication

Noise in communication refers to any interference or disruption that alters or hinders the clear transmission of a message from sender to receiver. It can be physical, like static on a phone line, or psychological, such as misunderstandings or emotional reactions. Noise reduces the accuracy or effectiveness of communication by distracting, distorting, or degrading the message, making it harder for the recipient to interpret it as intended. Recognizing and minimizing noise is essential for ensuring clear, effective communication in all contexts.
