Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Noise is any external interference that affects the communication process. It can be physical, semantic, physiological, or psychological. Noise can prevent the message from being properly received or understood, leading to distorted communication. Feedback, media, and channel are components of the communication process, but noise is an interfering factor.
