Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term used to describe anything that interferes with the effectiveness of a communication process is "noise". This can include physical noise (such as loud sounds), semantic noise (word choice), or psychological noise (preconceived ideas or biases). Interference, disruption, and confusion all describe possible effects of noise, but they are not as specific to communication.
