Overview

For this activity, noise is defined as anything that interferes with message transmission or reception (i.e., getting the image from your head into others heads). It goes on to identify four specific types of noise including:

1. Physiological noise - bodily processes and states that interfere with a message

2. Psychological noise - mental states or emotional states that impede message transmission or reception

3. Physical noise - the actual sound level in a room.

4. Cultural noise - message interference that results from differences in peoples worldviews
